Over the years I have taught English, Maths, PSHE, Film Studies, Media Studies as well as Drama. As a result of teaching many subjects I have spent hours creating schemes and resources so I am hoping this will save you a lot of time. I hope it does.
I also have many years experience as a Pastoral Leader / SEN Teacher meaning I also have resources to support effective behaviour management, safeguarding and Special Educational Needs.

A complete scheme of work with learning objectives, learning outcomes, closed and open question suggestions and stimuli included. The power point supports the scheme of work with all resources included in the power point. It was written for the old Edexcel Drama specification and can be easily adapted for Component One of the new specification. I am unable to include the pictures for copyright reasons.
There are three resources included that have been created for a lower ability English group.
Character Card Sort - There is a card sort for seven characters within the play MacBeth. I use this as a starter every lesson in order for students to remember the key characters and their role within the play. The extension card can be used for students to write their sentences on.
MacBeth Spellings - There are ten weeks worth of 10 spellings per week. I set this as a weekly homework. All words are related to MacBeth.
MacBeth Planning Sheet - This is a differentiated resource for students answering an exam question. The question is based on MacBeth’s soliloquy at the beginning of Act Two Scene One.
This resource gives purpose to the evaluation of drama performances. There is a "Judge"role, an "Interpretation Analyst" role, "Objective Enquirer" role and a "Facilitator"role card.
Each role card contains questions that will enable focused and detailed performance analysis.
The cards can be used by groups or individuals.
These differentiated question cards can be used by KS3 and KS4 Drama students when watching pieces of drama. The cards are differentiated for higher, middle and lower ability students within your group.
Hand the cards to students prior to watching the performance and they need to identify elements of the performance that will enable them to answer the question.
This introduction to fractions was created for a lower ability group. Students will look at understanding the numerator and denominator through fractions of pizza, students will use different denominators for pieces of pizza, students will gain an understanding of equivalent fractions.
The lesson plan includes lesson objectives, learning outcomes, suggested activities, suggested open and closed questions. The bell activity consists of students looking at number patterns where cards with numbers 1 - 100 have also been included.
The detailed and engaging power point supports the delivery of the lesson.
These differentiated marking slips can be printed and placed in student books saving hours when it comes to marking. Each of the topics below has three differentiated mathematic targets for that topic. There is a target and an application question on each marking slip.
The topics are:
Co-ordinates
Area and circumference
Percentages
Fractions
Converting Fractions to Decimals and Multiplying Fractions (Whole Number / Fractions)
There are five KS3 drama cover lessons, as well as a word search that can be used as a bell activity in any drama lesson.
The Street Drama cover involves students creating characters based on the residents in three houses. The students will be able to explore community living through drama.
The Soap Opera cover involves students creating their own soap opera.
The First Line, Setting and Plot Point cover gives students selected information that they use as a starting point to create pieces of drama.
The Old Man and His Grandson by Brothers Grimm cover looks at the discrimination faced by the Grandad and focuses on what the message is.
The Fairy Tale cover looks at creating a different ending to a familiar fairy tale.
This stimuli devising project includes a power point and a student workbook. It can be used for any devising project, and can be used at both KS3 and KS4.
The power point contains lessons where students look at four different stimuli (WB Yeats' He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven, the start of Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant, Work Place Discrimination and the story of Malala Yousafzai). Students will then compare and contrast these resources to create an original piece of drama. The above content will be delivered over three lessons.
Students will then look at picture stimuli and will compare and contrast two pictures leading to an original performance. I am unable to include the pictures for copyright reasons.
The final part of the project will be where students respond to different forms of possible discriminations (Disability / Homophobia / Sexism / Race ). Although this is one lesson, it has potential to be adapted into an assessment that could last for longer.
There is a student workbook which enables students to keep portfolio evidence as they progress through their lessons.
This unit of work looks at the job role of the actor in terms of what qualities are required, which other roles they work with in the industry, and the final piece of work would be the creation of a power point to educate aspiring actors. Students will also research other roles within the acting industry.
This would ideally need to be delivered in an ICT room, but could be adapted for the classroom provided case studies of job roles could be provided.
There is a unit of work that contains learning objectives, learning outcomes, homework, suggested activities as well as suggested open and closed questions. The unit of work contains six lesson plans.
There is a project pack included which involves students exploring Theatre in Education, the purpose, the similarities and differences to theatre as well as the job roles within Theatre in Education. This forms a homework project that supports the unit of work.
Some of the resources are included, but actor case studies would need to be printed for one lesson. For copyright reasons I am unable to include these.
These differentiated marking slips can be printed and placed in student books saving hours when it comes to marking. Each of the topics below has three differentiated mathematic targets for that topic. There is a target and an application question on each marking slip.
The topics are:
Angles
Area and Perimeter
Node / Median / Mean
Number (Rounding / Multiplication / Division)
Written multiplication and Division
The power points, lesson plans and resources have been created primarily for lower ability students. The topics included in this bundle include:
Angles
Fractions, Decimals and Percentages
Fractions Bingo
Percentages Bingo
Introduction to Fractions
Mathematic Marking Slips (10 sets in total)
Number (Prime, Factors, Rounding, Multiplication and Division)
Maths Support Cards (Can be used as a display and for students to work from)
Two of the resources (Body Image and Derek Bentley) include a scheme of work with accompanying power points to support the delivery. One resource (Art Gallery) includes a power point with an accompanying student work book and voice and movement flashcards that can be used in any drama lesson. The Art gallery resource will require you to insert four pictures of your choice in order to create the art gallery. However, all activities within the resource can be used for any picture used.
This KS3 Drama lesson includes a lesson plan, power point, challenge cards, homework activity, bell activity and all resources. These resources also include badges that you can individualise putting students names into them. They can then be printed off as stickers.
Students will investigate a crime that has happened at a house by visiting three stations of clues. They will then create their piece of drama, and have evaluation cards like strategy detective, technique detective and target detective in order to focus the evaluations. There are challenge cards to challenge higher ability students within your group.
This power point looks at how behaviour needs to have a graduated response, and how it is important for all staff to understand what this graduated response should be for each form of behaviour. There are also three scenarios that can be discussed to ensure responses to situations are consistent.
I have also created a worksheet that every member of staff can then keep as a reference once the workshop has been completed. This means that when you have established what the first, second, third and fourth responses are for your setting, staff can consistently apply them. This worksheet could be used throughout the year at meetings to keep behaviour management high profile.
This assembly aims to deliver a clear message about how accepting and embracing differences will lead to creating a more positive world for us to live in. There are references to homophobia, racism, ageism, sexism and discrimination in general. The assembly also features three positive role models who embraced and celebrated elements of diversity which led to positive changes being made.
This bundle includes two schemes of work that can be delivered during KS3 Drama lessons. One is an Arts in the Media scheme which focuses on soap opera and the second is a Drama Improvisation scheme. Also included in the bundle are four A4 audience role sheets that can be used during performance evaluations. The audience roles include The Interpretation Analyst and The Facilitator. Each sheet has key questions that the audience should consider when watching a performance. The sheets can be rotated to ensure each student completes all four audience roles.
This KS3 Drama bundle includes a scheme of work investigating and creating families in a family tree. The second resource is a lesson plan where students solve the crime of "Who stole the cake?" with the third being a lesson plan for a police investigation drama. All resources are included.
All three resources contain six one hour drama workshops each. There are two script sets of workshops (DNA and The Woman in Black) and there is a devised workshop where students will question if it is socially and morally right to discriminate.
This anti-bullying assembly has been created with the theme of "All Different All Equal" as a main focus. The assembly looks at some of the differences we all have, but reinforces the fact that this does not affect equality. We are all equal. The assembly asks the question as to whether we should judge differences and the impact words have on others.
