<p>This scheme of work was adapted from one intended for practical drama lessons for students to instead complete as distance learning. Students will learn about the Gresford Disaster: watch and listen to clips, develop creative writing skills (monologues and news paper reports) and explore different people’s perspectives in the disaster. There are approximately six hours of learning and space for students to complete work in the powerpoint or this resource can be printed out.</p>

<p>This powerpoint includes differentiated outcomes, retrieval activities, video links to example resources and music.<br /> Th is half-term scheme introduces pupils to group co-operation, learning to use the body creatively, creating animals and objects, through to using mirroring, balance and lifts to create a short story to music.<br /> Suitable for year 7 and year 8, the powerpoint links to my Drama Learning Log book.<br /> I use this as an Autumn Term 1 scheme of work as part of the year 7 learning journey.</p>

<p>Don’t spend more time planning than you have to!<br /> This scheme of work (7 lessons) requires access to the play ‘Goodnight Mr Tom’ by David Wood and there is also an additional cover lesson should you not be available to teach a lesson. Bonus!<br /> This powerpoint makes reference to an online performance of the play by Sunshine Productions.<br /> The powerpoint includes differentiated learning outcomes, retrieval practice and a brief introduction to naturalistic acting and performance skills.<br /> Written tasks are linked to my Drama Learning Log book which is also downloadable.</p>

<p>Don’t re-invent the wheel!<br /> My 29 page drama learning logbook is designed to accompany my school’s drama curriculum, however, feel free to use this as a template for a drama book to document your pupils’ year of learning. Complete with self-reflection and retrieval exercises, challenge tasks, space for vocabulary tests, it covers topics: safe working, physical theatre, naturalistic acting, devising drama and performance techniques. However, if you have your own schemes of work in operation, this is still fully adaptable for your own needs.</p>
