Key stage 3 - Devising from a stimulus - 12 lessons

(0)
This resource is used for year 7 and 8 who are of mixed ability and have studied drama at a basic level. The plus points to this unit is that is offers structure and routine for students so they know the expectations. Timings are on there but these can be changed to suit your lessons. Differentiation is not included as this is personal to your class so when I distribute this to my teachers they then go through and differentiate accordingly. This resource is 12 lessons centered around using various types of stimulus to devise performances. Tried and tested this has proved to offer the structure students need at this age and gets them thinking about different ways to interpret a stimulus. Many thanks for viewing this resource.

Introduction to Drama - 12 lessons building up basic skills

This resource is used for year 7’s who are of mixed ability and have never studied drama before. The plus points to this unit is that is offers structure and routine for students so they know the expectations. Timings are on there but these can be changed to suit your lessons. Differentiation is not included as this is personal to your class so when I distribute this to my teachers they then go through and differentiate accordingly. This resource is to build up a basic skill base for students while interacting with other students they might not know yet. Tried and tested this has proved to offer the structure students need at this age and gets them thinking about different skills they can use without being told to use them. The first half of the lessons examples are given to them and then towards the end that guidance is taking away as it shouldn’t be needed anymore. Many thanks for viewing this resource.
Year 7 Contemporary Dance

Year 7 Contemporary Dance

(0)
This scheme is taught to year 7 on a one hour a week basis. It looks at Ghost Dances, Still Life at the Penguin Café and Frantic Assembly in its very basic form. As they look at dance on a rotation this is just a flavour of contemporary dance. Included is a muscle work sheet which links with PE. 6 lessons - 6 hours. Each lesson has a link to either video or worksheet. Lesson 5 is an assessment as it coordinates with my school. Lesson 6 is usually something a little fun as it is always the last week of term.

The aim of this resource is to understand the origins and backgrounds of the themes within Accidental Death of an Anarchist. I teach this along side reading the play so they get an idea of the depth of the text. It is aimed at teaching A Level Theatre Studies students looking at Dario Fo's Accidental Death of an Anarchist. This could be taught for year 11. There is a heavy focus on the Pinelli scandal within this work.

Short Script on War - 'Sock Factory Girls'

Written by myself, Sock Factory Girls has gone down a storm in school war memorial shows. Its a comical script about a group of women forced to go to work in a factory during the war. I have attached two scripts, one should be performed a short time after to show time passing. Each script is around 5 minutes.
