History of Theatre Scheme of Work Aimed at Key Stage Four Drama. This scheme of work covers a practical exploration of Greek Theatre, Medieval Theatre, Elizabethan Theatre and Kitchen Sink Drama. The aim of the scheme is to extract key features from each of these times periods that may help develop students’ own performance work further with a brief history of each of the time periods. This bundle includes the scheme of work, PowerPoints (these are labelled but can be stretched out across lessons) and resources. There should be timers on the first PowerPoint but these don’t seem to be working at the moment - I have left the slides in so that you could add in your own timers (or use an online alternative).

Creating a Production Scheme of Work The ‘Creating a Production’ scheme of work has been designed as a team building scheme for students at the end of Year 9 who have started the GCSE course, however it could be easily adapted to Key Stage Three also. The objective of the scheme is to give students ownership of creating a whole class performance to develop their skills in communication and teamwork, as well as introducing the different production roles in a theatre setting, giving useful preparation for the GCSE written exam. The students take responsibility for every aspect of the performance, including the directing. Each student in the class should have an acting role (except the directors, lighting technician and sound technician) and a production role - ensuring there is always a task to be completed in each lesson. This bundle includes a simple scheme of work, production packs for each of the production roles and some worksheets needed throughout the scheme. The scheme provided mentions the use of Grimm Tales. I have previously done this scheme with the Grimm Tales scripts by Carol Ann Duffy (two stories per class) or abridged Shakespeare scripts. It is a great scheme to get a class working together and appreciating one another, as well as allowing the freedom to develop their own ideas in relation to a script.

GCSE Drama Dictionary The GCSE Drama Dictionary is a workbook, with a range of drama terminology on the left side, then a blank space on the right for the students to complete their own definitions. It is designed to be completed across the GCSE course, as and when specific terminology is covered in lessons. I have previously used the workbook as a starter, plenary or even to be completed during cover lessons and then as a revision guide at the end of the course. The drama terms are split into different areas, such as voice and physicals skills. It also covers lighting terminology and backstage terms, as well as a practitioners, stage area and stage types section. Terminology is generic so covers all GCSE specifications.
