Students will look at the ingredients of a monologue through both comedic and dramatic examples. First, they will watch a character deliver a monologue. Then, they will read a typed out version (formatted to match their task.) Then, they will annotate a monologue using the ingredients from the start of the lesson. Examples, handouts, and links are provided. I hope you enjoy this -- it was a hit with both my KS3 English and Drama students!

I use this sheet at the beginning of scene work to remind students what their scene should look like and what to include. Although I’ve mainly used this resource with Year 6-8 students, I’m sure it could be used for younger and older with some adapting. Feel free to use, adapt, change whatever suits your needs. I hope it helps!
