KS3 Drama 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime' Scheme of Work

’The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime’ the play by Simon Stephens KS3 Drama Scheme of Work

This is a 7 week Drama scheme of work aimed at Year 8 students although could easily be adapted for any KS3 year group. I have planned for 7 weeks in the scheme but I have also completed it over a 6 week and 8 week term as well - the assessment task or the physical theatre lesson can take an additional lesson.

The scheme has a focus on character relationships in the play. It does include one physical theatre lesson, but this is not the main focus of the scheme.

The scheme covers - introduction to the plot, understanding Christopher, Christopher and Ed, Christopher and Siobhan, physical theatre (at the train station) and an assessment task exploring a short scene and a monologue.

This resources includes;

Workbook
PowerPoints for each of the 7 lessons.
Resources

The resources does include short extracts from the play itself, however I would suggest that you try to get a copy of the book yourself as it will support in the teaching of the scheme.
