This is a Drama bingo card that can be used to challenge learners when devising Drama. This can be done to challenge HAP learners, or can be used as a challenge for students to complete against one another (who can get a line or house, first) Students can receive rewards for completing bingo to engage and motivate learners.

This is 5 weeks worth of home learning activities for KS3 Drama students and includes different activities for year 7 and 8 students .

Each activity has an explicate intention for students to support intent>implement> impact. :)

This is a menu that I have set for my KS3 students as part of their distance learning. This involves students developing knowledge of Drama Practitioners. The students select a practitioner and complete a range of creative and research activities to develop their knowledge. There is also an opportunity for students to complete performance tasks. This task can be used to support distance learning, or as a homework.

A fun, end of topic poetry lesson used with low ability year 8 students and year 7 students. This works towards students creating an 'octopoem' for display.

This is a task I completed with KS3 as an introduction to dance, each student had a table and the key words were stuck around the room and I have students five minutes, to put the key word in the correct box. Students then kept this resource to refer to when providing feedback.

These are a selection of resources used with KS3 and KS4 to assist their PEE responses. This includes: -A PEE planning table (used in an observation) -A PEE structure strip.

This is a selection of images that can be used as a stimulus for creative writing. For each image there is a caption which could also assist the creative process. These images have also been used in my KS3 drama lessons as starting points for drama.

This includes a PowerPoint to introduce TSLAP analysis (theme, structure, language, attitude of the poet, personal response). It also includes a range of worksheets to support TSLAP analysis in relation to poems e.g. - An analysis poetry structure strip -A comparison table - A writing 'frame' This is used throughout KS3 and KS4 to analyse poetry at our school.

This is a booklet I created for my year 7. It includes key words, sentence starters and opportunities for self, peer and teacher assessment twice per term.

This is a boardgame created to engage learners in component 1 of the BTEC Tech Award in Performing Arts. There are two games - one for the Dance and one for the Drama pathway. The boardgame includes our set works (West Side Story, Revelations, Swansong, Blood Brothers and Teechers) but is easily adapted to suit your own set works. Students can roll a dice to decide which questions to answer and in which order. It can be done as a game between peers or a solo task.

This is a Drama game that helps students to revisit key terminology (including styles, skills and job roles) and also practice their vocal clarity and articulation. Inspired by ‘Saturday Night Takeaway’s’ game of the same name - the game asks a student to have earphones on and face away from the board, another students to mime the words that will appear on the board. The other student will be given a set amount of time to guess the word their partner is miming. Perfect for a starter!

This is an activity that can be used as a starter, plenary or main activity in a lesson. I have found that it is a fun and engaging way to encourage students to re-visit knowledge and for you to assess learners understanding. You can pass a traditional pass the parcel. I use a raffle ticket reward system, therefore pass these. Each question has a verbal and physical challenge to appeal to all learners. This can be done with KS3 and KS4 learners. You can easily adapt the questions to further meet/match your curriculum.

This is a worksheet i created for students as an alternative to practical work. It lets them explore why drama is important for their development.

This is a SOW used with year 8 as an introduction to dance. Students create a routine based on James Bond, the styles explores include capoeira and street. This was really successful with boys!

This is an observation lesson which was created for my year 12 A Level Drama group. It focuses on the play Antigone, and requires students to create a Greek Chorus for the play. This includes a PP, differentiation tasks and full lesson plan.

These peer assessment cards have been created to encourage students to provide effective peer assessment and develop their knowledge of key Drama terms. These can be used by KS3 or KS4 learners and can be used in various ways. Each card has a Drama skill, definition and questions to assist students in forming their feedback. I have also included a PowerPoint slide which I used to reinforce the instructions to the learners.
