Blackout scheme of work.

An excellent KS3 resource for drama on the play Blackout by Davey Anderson with a complete and ready to go six lesson SOW which includes all additional worksheets.

If you purchase this scheme of work, you get access to six lesson powerpoints with around 80 to 100 slides over the complete SOW that help students to access and succeed at the six core outcomes which are designed for this module.

In this six lesson SOW students will learn about:

Lesson one: In this lesson students learn to explore the key themes within Blackout through theatrical techniques such as tableau’s, soundscapes and flash forwards.

Lesson two: In this lesson students learn to use physical theatre to explore the opening of the play Blackout.

Lesson three: In this lesson students learn to bring scene three to life using choral speech, gestus and stage combat while examining the key theme of domestic abuse and whether this has affected James when it comes to the violent crime he has committed.

Lesson four: In this lesson students learn to explore the theme of mental health deterioration in Blackout through tableau’s, gestures, stage combat and physical theatre techniques in scene eleven.

Lesson five: In this lesson students learn to consider the role theatre can have in the reformation of offenders and to practically explore the penultimate scene using multirole.

Lesson six: In this lesson students learn to rehearse, polish and assess our version of an extract from Blackout for a performance assessment in the problems with youth offending.
