The concept of this devising assessment is that students analyse four pieces of art and create four pieces of original drama based on the art work. The final performance will be set in an art gallery where students bring the art to life and can stage the performance to include the audience. You can also add in an art gallery worker to escort the audience around the gallery. There are four lessons included in the power point to create the work, but students will then rehearse this towards an assessment. There is a work book to enable students to keep a log book of the decisions that they have made. There are also cards which have key vocal and physical terms on which can be used in any drama lesson to encourage students to include these words during evaluations. For copyright reasons, I am unable to include the four pictures, but the questions will fit any piece of art meaning you would be able to just insert the pictures into the power point and work book.

There is a slide on respect, why we should look after each other, achieving our best, enjoying ourselves and following our rules, The final slide asks for students to reflect upon personal behaviour.

This assembly develops thinking around the key topic of respect. It asks questions about whether students respect the rules of the school, the dining room, the environment, other people, the classroom and the corridors. It enables the person delivering the assembly to clearly outline school expectations on the topic of respect and reinforces the point that personal responsibility is key to living in a respectful environment.

This anti-bullying assembly has been created with the theme of "All Different All Equal" as a main focus. The assembly looks at some of the differences we all have, but reinforces the fact that this does not affect equality. We are all equal. The assembly asks the question as to whether we should judge differences and the impact words have on others.

This assembly looks at the ideas of banter and bullying, and focuses on how banter can also be bullying. The assembly looks at different behaviours, how banter via social media is wrong and how behaviour is viewed by others. The assembly poses some reflective questions for students where the person delivering can make it clear that any form of hurtful banter is wrong.

This assembly looks at the theme “Choose Respect”. Key ideas include understanding that bullying is a behaviour choice, respect in general, how can disagree respectfully, what could be seen as disrespectful as well as how we can choose respect on-line, in our community, in our school and in person. Some of these slides could also be used for a RESPECT display.
