This devising unit of work asks the question whether it is socially and morally right to discriminate, and it encourages students to explore this topic and create original pieces of drama to answer the question. There are two workshops where racial discrimination is explored through the Rosa Parks story, two workshops where age discrimination is explored through "The Old Man and His grandson" by the Brothers Grimm, and two workshops where gender discrimination is explored through the suffragette movement. There is a unit of work, and a power point that accompanies this. When purchased, you would need to source your own suffragette pictures, and Rosa Parks information due to uncertainty of including them in this for copyright reasons, but the Brothers Grimm story is included.

The concept of this devising assessment is that students analyse four pieces of art and create four pieces of original drama based on the art work. The final performance will be set in an art gallery where students bring the art to life and can stage the performance to include the audience. You can also add in an art gallery worker to escort the audience around the gallery. There are four lessons included in the power point to create the work, but students will then rehearse this towards an assessment. There is a work book to enable students to keep a log book of the decisions that they have made. There are also cards which have key vocal and physical terms on which can be used in any drama lesson to encourage students to include these words during evaluations. For copyright reasons, I am unable to include the four pictures, but the questions will fit any piece of art meaning you would be able to just insert the pictures into the power point and work book.

There are five KS3 drama cover lessons included, as well as a word search starter that can be used as a bell activity for any cover lesson.

This lesson plan, power point and resources were created to support the delivery of component 3 section B from the new Edexcel Drama syllabus. It can, however, be used to teach a live performance review from any syllabus. The focus areas within the lesson are costume, set, lighting, space and levels. These areas are looked at individually working towards the completion of a live performance review. This lesson plan includes suggested activities, suggested questions, learning objectives and outcomes. The power point supports the lesson plan but for copyright reasons you will need to insert appropriate live performance still images. This means you could use images from the same performance to complete a live performance review, or from different performances to introduce the topic. Through introducing your own images you will be able to use the resources several times.
