An abridged script for A Midsummer Night’s Dream for a 1 hour student performance. Maintains Shakespeare’s original language, rhythm/meter and all key scenes and characters. Includes a scene summary page to aid student understanding, reference and rehearsal schedule - with suggestions of opportunities to create ensemble involvement. Pages, scenes and lines numbered for ease of reference and rehearsal. I directed a cast of students all the way from year 7-13 (ages 11-18), with SEN and MAGT/GAMA, performing this in one hour, including movement/dance sequences as marked in the summary and it was very successful and well received by students, parents, staff and governors. The students involved really enjoyed themselves and rose to the challenge of Shakespeare’s language. If you’re thinking “my students couldn’t handle the language” - Don’t! They can and will!

A humorous 2 performer sketch - old acquaintences meet while Christmas shopping and have an awkward catch up, but the audience hear what they’re THINKING instead of what they’re saying. A great exercise in vocal tone for Drama or English students. Clean humour suited to school gala or concert.

Support mat for creative writing in English and Literacy. Also great for use during DIRT/ improvement/ acknowledgement tasks and for developing literacy skills. Includes support for varying sentence structures and vocabulary, reminders of imagery techniques, senses, ‘show don’t tell’ and story structure. (Aristotle’s model / freitag’s pyramid / story mountain.) Suitable for Primary and Secondary students. Works well laminated on student desks, available to collect when needed, or as part of a display. I find effectiveness increases as students become familiar with the resource and after time students will be keen to ask for it during written tasks. If you enjoy, please leave a review!
