This is an editable Word document that I used to start the Collaborative Project (7 minute Film) for HL students. It begins with a description of the task, outlines the requirements and restrictions. It includes the Director’s, Cinematographer’s and Editor’s list of production role tasks as per the IB Film handbook, and then includes a variety of templates that students can use to fulfill their production roles (storyboard, shot list, call sheet, foley sound list etc…)

This script explores the issue of bullying. I originally wrote it for Year 8, but it could be used for late in Year 7 or early in Year 9. There isn’t a series of lesson plans attached to it yet, or scheme of work, but I am planning to create one soon. Hopefully it is fairly self explanatory. Please use it as you wish. There are scenes that are scripted and some that your learners should devise themselves , with guide lines as to what should be in the scene, sometimes more or less prescriptive. This script was originally written for Drama lessons, as I could not find a script that really hit the things I wanted them to explore, at the right level. However, it could also be used and the issues explored in PSHE or another context (perhaps a project). Please use it to use in lessons, or as a school performance, but please do quote me as having written it. Hope you find it good / useful / interesting. Please remember that some of the scenes may hit some difficult situations and be reflective of learner’s own experiences. It is important to support them as they explore the scenes and situations.

Using pictures to create dramatic scenes / storylines: this worksheet takes students through 10 tasks to build towards a final drama piece of their own making. Task 1 is looking at the pictures and creating ideas, through to Task 10 to perform their drama piece. This worksheet can be used by experienced drama teachers, or perhaps used to help cover teachers through a series of lessons (perhaps 3 - 5 lessons, depending upon length of lessons / desired drama length). Drama pieces created from this could be 1 scene, to a whole 10 minute piece (or even bigger!), depending upon your needs / requirements / the direction you give. The pictures come from a free image source website, so are copyright free.

A series of 7 vocabulary sheets that require the learner to write a definition of the meaning of the word, write in stage directions and draw diagrams of staging types. Really good for reference and EAL students who need extra help with vocabulary, or new students to the subject that need to catch up.
