This resource has been used most successfully with our current y8/9 students. It is a SOW at desks so classroom based but with fun activities for students to take part it with some movement at desks in some tasks.
The SOW explores the following
Lesson 1- Stylistic Features of professional repertoire.
Lesson 2- Dance skills
Lesson 3- Types of Stimuli
Lesson 4- Responding to a brief
Lesson 5- Interactive Quiz
Lessons can be split as there is a lot of content, lesson 3 and 4 inparticular you could spread across 2 lessons each making a longer SOW
The bundle also features a knowledge organiser that students can use for home learning and there is a DO NOW task students can complete in books at the start of each lesson.

This resource is a homework pack that i distributed to my learners over the half term. It gives them a brief and a written example , as well as some information on the physical skills to complete a physical skills audit. The work students produced was excellent and much more detailed as a result of this resource.
This resource features a planning sheet and an accompanying ppt to prepare students for the Component 3 Ideas Log exam.

The planning sheet also includes a structured page for students to add their bulletpoints to in preparation for the exam.
This Rosas Danst Rosas bundle includes ppt resources and sheets needed for an engaging set of practical and theory based lessons. This has worked wonderfully for our KS4 BTEC students during the COVID restrictions and is perfect for social distancing. It could however be a really fantastic SOW for KS3.
The full Rosas Danst Rosas site specific filmed piece is available to watch on Youtube if you search Rosas Danst Rosas and the links on the ppt go directly to the Rosas Remixed tutorials.
The SOW also features an opportunity for students to look at the Beyonce Plagiarism scandal and create a piece mirroring Rosas to the Beyonce track which students have LOVED
This resource features an exam PPT launch that is used with y10/11 drama and dance students, it has a breakdown of the criteria, top tips for the exam, an introduction to the stimulus for 2020 as well as a few practical ideas for pieces that we feel would meet the criteria fully, the ppt justifies how the ideas would hit each element of the brief.
The ppt also comes with a breakdown of the combination of grades to achieve overall scores so students can see how their result for comp 3 could effect their overall grade.
In addition to the PPT there is a student booklet for COMPONENT 3, this features the following pages:
Breakdown of criteria and theme brief.
Local Community mindmap of areas to consider.
Mind map page
Pitch page for students to formulate an idea for a piece that they can share with their group.
Final group idea page with space to justify how the idea meets each section of the brief.
A scene/section planning table to note down the structure of their piece scene by scene.
Rehearsal logs x8 to log what they are working on, targets and actions for the next rehearsals.
Techniques grid to allow them to tick off and make notes when devising for dance- this could be easily adapted to fit dramatic techniques instead
Verbal feedback log
Choreographic devices page with information to help students when devising/developing.
Technique and motif development posters (on a seperate document)
This is a template that i gave to students as part of their studies on 5 Soldiers. There is a storyboard complete with 8 key scenes in the production. Students must watch the live feed performance and describe the movement, set, lighting and costume in each scene.
This allows them to meet the Component 1 Criteria in exploring the features of the piece and how costume, set, lighting and movement choices contribute to the overall piece.
A help sheet is included with an example for each section and some helpful tips.
A ppt to launch the 2020 BTEC TECH Component 3 theme with grade breakdowns, top tips and some practical examples and helpful ideas to get started.
The ppt also features a breakdown of overall grades so students can understand the importance of component 3 to their overall grade.
These are lessons 3 and 4 of the Diversity Black Lives Matter scheme of work and look at Using RADS to come up with choreography from a moodboard and then Physical and Expressive skills. The first 2 lessons and resources are free on my store
This resource was created to support students in writing workshop journals for component 1. Students work improved drastically when using this resource.
Students are encouraged to add more detail to their work, there are multiple examples on the ppt and students are encouraged to write a section and then have a partner check their work using PADDY MCGUINESS no likey no highlighty! It is simple for each element of detail a different colour highlighter is used so that students can visually see which elements of detail they are missing in their work.
I created this lesson for the early stages of component 3 exam on the BTEC TECH performing arts award. This lesson requires students to share their initial ideas with other students in the class and enables them to see who might have similar or interesting ideas to them. There is also a sheet attached that students can fill out as they complete the activity.
This is the 3rd workshop for 5 soldiers for the BTEC TECH component 1. This workshop sees students explore the section of the piece where soldiers socialise on a night out, this encourages students to create a piece of their own in this style, using elements of the original as an example.
I created this resource for my BTEC TECH classes studying dance, the lesson requires them to use various stimuli linked to their initial ideas such as a poem or photo and to create basic motifs from them. The ppt includes a CREATION CANVAS slide that i printed A3 so that students could explain the movement they created ready for their ideas log activities. This will link to a STORYBOARDING lesson and their COMPONENT 2 write up.
This is a handy resource to prepare students for the second written task for component 3- the skills log. The ppt features a skills log canvas slide that can be printed A3 for students to write bulletpoints on each area of the written task, a PIE themed structure tutorial, and has a paddy mcguiness themed peer assessment task.
A log for students to complete at a second milestone. This includes guidance on points to include, some evaluation tasks and some target setting sheets including a SMART target that can be reviewed at 3 key points.
This is a resource created for Component 3 of the BTEC TECH Performing Arts course. This is for DANCERS taking the course and should be delivered after the EXAM LAUNCH as an introduction to the theme and to allow students to generate some initial ideas.
The PPT has links to dance pieces that might inspire students, it also has two creative tasks based on the stimulus BLANK CANVAS and Disadvantaged Children. It includes opportunity and a sheet for students to record their ideas in rough format ready for the SKILLS LOG task. All sheets and resources needed are included. The ideas log should be printed A3 for best results.
This is a complete bundle that will help to support students in the first Phase of COMPONENT 3.
The pack includes an exam launch introducing the theme, marking criteria and potential inspiration and ideas. It also includes an initial workshop to explore the stimulus set for 2019.
In addition the pack includes a motif development lesson for students to start to build and track their ideas- many of my students had got 1 mins worth of material from this lesson alone.
A storyboarding lesson allows students to develop the motifs created and to start to formulate ideas about set/props/music/dancers needed for each section.
To complete the pack I have included a theory lesson so that students can prepare for their IDEAS LOG written task, this includes a slide that can be printed A3 for them to bulletpoint their ideas for the task. And a template to practise on.
This resource was created for teaching y8 and 9 dance students in classrooms. The choreography was modified and performed sat at desks but this could be quite easily used in a studio where students can dance more freely. The first couple of lessons and the moodboard resources are here, you can access the other lessons in my store.
I created this for my students studying COMPONENT 3 on the BTEC TECH award. It is just a really simple way for them to record ideas as they rehearse etc and then when they complete the skills log they can refer to this when creating their notes. The concept links to BLANK CANVAS-just for fun, so they use all the blank space on the blank canvas to write down their ideas and then at the end of the lesson reflect using the questions in the paint splatters.
