This powerpoint is used to teach using I,We,You and should give students a very clear way to achieve 4 marks.
LGBT YA Book Display
Helps to promote a love of reading in students as well as explore LGBT themes. Its great to have something visible like this in school and helps with SMSC.
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.
