What do teachers say about this resource? (3230)
I liked the play and the teaching pack was good. It is a self contained resource that is not prescriptive; it points teachers towards a quality outcome. The links to the drugs websites were good. It is really important to have follow up material for young people when the stimulus has provoked questions. It is a really good resource on many levels
I think it will appeal to students. There are a number of issues which they will find easy to relate to and identify with. In particular, I think the relationship between Jane and Emma provides a lot of opportunity to work off text. I think it gives a great deal of opportunity for KS4 Drama students to explore issues and use a range of drama strategies although the resource could offer more pointed opportunities, particularly for forum theatre activities, to support less experienced teachers.
I liked its authenticity [and] the opportunities it gives to students to research the theme. It introduces a taboo subject in a dramatic, non-moralistic way... Provides excellent starting material for an examination group
I thought that it was a well rounded project and very flexible for use either within the drama classroom or as a PSHE/Theatre In Education piece... I like the flexibility, the emphasis on mood and atmosphere, the helpful suggestions for technical students... It provides stylised opportunities for performance and technical production skills
I like the mix of flashback, monologue, direct address etc. I also think that there's a variety of language use, including some choral work, which will keep the ear interested in performance
