Are you looking to create a clear, concise and effective assessment criteria for your Drama curriculum? If so, this resource pack will provide you with the perfect framework needed to offer structure and direction for both you and your pupils.
The assessment framework can also be used as a target-setting tool, where pupils termly or half-termly use their workbooks to review their progress and to offer another level of inter-activity. They can also use a passport-sized photo to move around the framework display board (preferably on show in each classroom) as and when they achieve their set target.
Included in this resource pack is the following:
Assessment framework for Years 3-9 (adaptable, depending on which year groups you teach and when pupils start Drama).
Drama workbooks for Years 5-9. Differentiated for specific year groups and editable, depending on year groups you teach and exam boards you work with (specific to Year 9 in preparation for GCSE).
This resource pack offers a scheme of work and assignment briefs for teaching TV & FILM ACTING.

Trying to think of ways you can help your pupils learn the areas of a stage? How about using the attached worksheet and combine it with the Noughts and Crosses game.
Split your class into 2 teams - 1 = Noughts and 1 = Crosses.
They have to physically stand on the ‘stage’ (you could use tape on the floor to mark out the areas, or maybe chairs?). Both teams then need to try and get 3 in a row by stating each area of the stage correctly as they enter the space.
