Careers in drama scheme of work & resources

This resource is a full scheme of work for ‘careers in drama’, ideal for years 8 or 9.
It also includes one powerpoint (that has slides for every lesson), two script resources and an assignment document (as homework or to be included in your final lesson as a reflection of the scheme).
The scheme covers the role of a director, producer, stage designer, costume designer and performer - it gives students the opportunity to have a go at being all of those roles, find out what is needed to pursue a career in those roles (ideal if your students are looking ahead to their GCSE subject choices) and work as those roles in groups.

This is written to cover 5 lessons (I originally wrote it for a short half term), but can easily be extended to cover 6 full lessons (ideal for a normal length half term, or a full term if your students only have drama lessons once a fortnight). I have included notes in the SOW document as to how to extend to 6 lessons.
The timings are for lessons that are one hour long, but again could easily be adjusted to fit the length of your drama lessons.

The script resources are taken from ‘Shakers’ by John Godber, which originally were four female characters. I work in an all-girls school with trans and non-binary students, so I give my students the options to change the names, but you might want to rewrite the names on the scripts yourself to suit your student demographic.
