Comedy - A Scheme of Work

“Dying is easy. Comedy is difficult”.

But like everything else it can be done more successfully when analysed and practised and this scheme will help incalculably.

So here, across 10/11 sixty minute lessons, running to 30+ pages and 8,000+ words, you will find a scheme of work looking at:

• Black (Dark) Comedy,
• Stand-up,
• Improvisation,
• Slapstick,
• Sketch Shows and
• Sit Coms.

All of this is tied up with an end of unit assessment.

All the support links and sheets are included and lessons are planned in timed sections. This is suitable for Key Stage 3 (or for Key Stage 4 who have little drama experience, or for ex-curricular or Drama Club projects). Download the sample from the link in second image for a complete lesson.
