A scheme of work designed to introduce students to the world of Commedia dell’Arte from behind their desks. It includes a PowerPoint and a work booklet for the students to use to support their learning.

Most lessons also contain an element of practical work, to ensure they are still utilising their acting skills. Includes detailed instructions for 4 lessons, along with ideas for how you could extend this Scheme, should you want to (the last slide of the PowerPoint). If you would like me to create a PowerPoint for any of the ideas in the last slide, comment on this post, and I will try and get one made for you ASAP.

The unit also contains 2 work sheets - One to support students with note taking during the show, and one to support them with their individual notes for their folders.

I have created a mock paper for the new set texts based on the old style of paper. This has been designed to replicate an official paper, giving the students the experience of a real exam in the absence of mock papers provided by the exam board. I have included page numbers for the majority of extracts (where I had access to the exam copy of the text), but please check the page numbers are entered for your chosen set text (if you want to message me the page numbers for any that aren’t included I will update the resource as I go). DISCLAIMER: This resource is not directly affiliated with Eduqas or WJEC, but has been made by a GCSE teacher and examiner to support teachers who don’t currently have a Mock paper with the new set texts.
