Drama Remote Learning Booklet Key Stage 3/BTEC Introduction

A work booklet with a variety of activities and tasks that students can complete remotely. The booklet includes links to YouTube clips to support the completion of the tasks. The entirety of the booklet can be completed independently by students, although lessons could be taught alongside the booklet. The booklet is designed for year 8/9 students who have had some experience of KS3 Drama, however, as it is a Word document, it can be adapted for year 7 students or developed further. This is also a good preparation booklet for students moving onto BTEC Tech Award Level 1/2 in Performing Arts due to the introduction of roles and responsibilities.

The booklet contents are:

• Key word wordsearch
• Key word skills Audit
• Personal reflection on Drama experience so far
• An actor prepares - exploring warm ups for an actor
• Key word recall - defining key vocabulary
• What makes a good performance? - exploring key words, watching performances and offering opinions
