Hot-Seating Cue Cards - Three Levels - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced - Theatre Drama KS3 KS4 KS5

(0)
A note from the author: 10 pages of 8 cards each, 80 cards in total. For hot seating rehearsal techniques in classes, and as part of production or exam rehearsals. There are two options of how to use these cards: Personally I like to laminate these cards on card (double-sided with the backs) and keep them in bundles 1x Pile of Beginner, 1x Pile of Intermediate, 1x Pile of Advanced. I ensure that I also use the back of the card templates to ensure that the cards work as a whole. You could print out a complete sheet and give one to each pupil. This way they have almost a scorecard to use when working on this technique, depending on the level that the actor wishes to try at. Overview of Resource: 30 x Beginner Cards (For use as a good warm up to hot-seating for all level actors, and for KS3 and lower level KS4 / GCSE) 30 x Intermediate Cards (For KS4 / GCSE above, and high level KS3) 20 x Advanced Cards (for KS5 / A Level, and high level KS4 / GCSE) Category: Rehearsal Techniques (Bundle) Stanislavski (Bundle) Included: 80 x Hot-Seating Cue Cards Please note: Purchasing this document allows you to amend and reproduce the cards in anyway that you wish.

Pastoral & Form Time Tutor Activities Quotes Caption Competitions Displays Posters Ideas

(1)
A note from the author: I have used these resources with my form group from Year 7 - 9 to ensure that not only do I develop a strong pastoral grounding with the students, but also that I build a professional relationship with my form. Some of the resources will need to be tailored / adapted to the needs of your form and your school pastoral policies, however they are a great template to work from. Included here are a range of different resources. The main ideas are embedded within the two ‘Twilight’ documents as this is from a session I ran on our Pastoral role as form teachers. Posters / Displays: - Multiple Intelligence Posters - to instil a sense of acceptance of difference - A Fingerprint Tree (will need an ink pad) where all students add their fingerprint as a leaf to the tree - to create a bond of loyalty - Quotes of the Week - to inspire students - Code of Conduct examples - to help students understand expectations of the school, staff and themselves. - Roles/Responsibilities Lists with ideas to get the whole form involved. Activities Ideas: - A range of ideas in the ‘Twilight’ documents - Teach a Skill / Run an Activity Forms - student led in form time - Quiz on school rules and expectations (obviously will need to be adapted) - Settling in Meetings / Interview Question Sheets - Caption Competitions - Desert Island Disks Certificates (students talk about and present extracts of two songs that are important for them) - Puns and Riddles to keep their mind fresh.
