A 6 lesson scheme on devising drama using the YA Novel ‘They Both Die at the End’ as a stimulus.
This resource contains 6 PowerPoint lessons with Do Now activities and Exit Tickets. The scheme is designed to introduce the basic skills and techniques needed to devise Drama. This is aimed at a year 8 or 9 audience but could be pitched up to KS4.
Skills explored:
-Cross Cutting
-Montage
-Chair Duets
-Round-By-Through

This log can be used at the end of every rehearsal as a way to promote reflection and target setting. This prompts students to take responsibility for their rehearsals.
This is a five lesson SOW which introduces Blood Brothers, the play is explored through practical work, it is geared towards the AQA Drama GCSE but can be adapted to suit other needs. This SOW introduces the time period, background, the main themes and the characters. The final lesson in the SOW focuses on Design, introducing a GCSE question. I have found this SOW gives a solid foundation knowledge to build from, for both KS3 or KS4.
Includes Power Point with resources to be used in lesson and detailed Scheme of Work.
