This is a highly engaging and comprehensive scheme of work for GCSE Drama, centered on the set text The Crucible. It includes detailed lesson plans that guide students through the play from Act 1 to Act 3, with clear learning objectives, key questions, and a variety of exploratory practical group activities. The scheme also incorporates assignments designed to reinforce learning and prepare students for academic success. Over the past two years (2022-2024), my GCSE students have consistently achieved grades 8-5 while studying The Crucible as their set text.

This scheme of work on Macbeth is highly engaging and makes Shakespeare fun and accessible to all pupils. Each lesson has a retrieval practice starter, practical group work and plenaries. The oracy strategies that are threaded throughout the lesson plans allow pupils to connect the themes and issues in Macbeth to the real world. The scheme of work includes seven lessons that introduce an essential drama skill that creates a spiralling and enriching scheme of learning. It also includes a practical assessment at the end of the scheme.
