KS3 drama workbook - Stage Configurations
This booklet was designed for a non-specialist teacher to be able to deliver whilst the drama teacher is absent/unavailable. I predominently set this for cover work for Years 7, 8 & 9.
It is a 22 page word document that is comprised of passages of texts about a specific stage configurations (including in-the-round, end-on, traverse, and thrust) with corresponding comprehension questions. These are then followed by a multiple choice spelling test and some fun words games.
This booklet has recieved many compliments at my school, especially from the teachers who are particularly anxious about teaching in the drama studio. It takes the brightest and fastest students at least an hour to complete.
