I use this scheme of work with my Year 9 classes, as not only does it offer exciting and creative opportunities, but it also allows for complex exploration how to direct. The students assessment allows them to experience both directing a piece of drama and to be directed in a piece of drama.
Objective Overview of Director SOW
§ To explore a variety of ways to direct others, and to develop and hone the skills of a competent director.
§ Students should recognise the communicative powers of theatre, and ensure all work aims to evoke a response or provide a message to the intended audience.
§ Students to play around with script extracts, and block sections of text.
§ Students should collaborate effectively with other group members.
Included:
In-depth Scheme of Work
Lesson Resources (Worksheets, Scripts, Activity Sheets, Evaluations)
Assessment Instructions

This was the quiz that I hosted for our annual Drama Department Dinner. 5 rounds, takes approximately 45 mins/1 hour or so depending on numbers and method of scoring (we used the teacher table to score). Our students are placed into different Theatre Companies (drama houses) for various events that they partake in each year.
Round 1 - General Theatre, Film & TV
Round 2 - Music Round - Name Musical & Song
Round 3 - School Drama Department (Make these your own!)
Overview of Resources:
These resources are for a complete quiz event.
Included:
Quiz Questions
Quiz Answer Sheets
Please note:
You will have to supply the music for the music round (Round 4). You can source these on Youtube / Spotify. Ensure you cut off with the last line prompt or it may give away the title of the song or some other key piece of information.
You will also have to tailor the questions in Round 3 to your own school’s drama department. You can use mine as a basis.
