Missing girl drama scheme of work year 8

Full scheme of work including powerpoints, resources and printable stimuli. This scheme includes 6 lessons (with an optional 7th lesson if you have a long term) to fit a half-term or whole term (if your students have drama once a fortnight).

I teach this in the summer half term of year 8, but this scheme could be used for other KS3 years too.

The lessons cover the following performance and rehearsal devices:
Choral speaking
Repetition
Hot seating
Split staging
Still images
Thought tracking
Monologues
Group work and performance

This topic covers themes such as:
Why people go missing
Why people may not want to be found
Living with difficulties at home
Homelessness

Lesson four of this scheme of work involves the teacher turning your drama space into a ‘crime scene’ that students can visit and walk around, I have included printable stimulus for you to use (as well as ideas for other items for stimuli). In case you don’t have the time or space to create a crime scene, I have included a powerpoint version of the crime scene (which was used when I taught this scheme online during the pandemic), and is still a great way for students to look through the ‘crime scene’ and discuss together.
