This resource has been created to support teachers of Drama and English to embed creative and original approaches to teaching text and devising.
These approaches can work in a school, group or remote setting and have been tried and tested.
Within this resource there are tips and practical ideas for lessons and exercises which:
Introduce texts
Explore characters and themes
Immerse students into the world of the play/text
WHOOSH! exercise of A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Encourage and develop group thinking and ideas sharing
Encourage solo, group and whole class responses.
In addition there is a section on the use of ORACY within lessons, when approaching written content within a lesson. This included:
Oracy frame works
Oracy based questions
There is also some basic theory and thinking around creativity in the classroom.
This is a great resource for any teacher looking for new approaches and opportunity to get really creative within their teaching of these elements.
