Included in this resource pack is the following:
Assessment framework for Years 3-6 (adaptable, depending on which year groups you teach and when pupils start Drama).
Drama workbooks for Years 5 and 6. Differentiated for specific year groups and editable, depending on the year groups you teach.
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 use a passport-sized photo to move around the framework display board (preferably on show in each classroom) as and when they achieve each set target.
