Engage your students in drama with this activity pack for Willy Russell’s appealing play Our Day Out. Flexible and varied, the resource brings the play to life with a range of stimulating activities that take an active approach to exploring the text.

This resource will undoubtedly make the life of the teacher easier

P Town, Head of KS3 English and Independent Reviewer

The resource is split into: ❶ pre-reading material with activities, ❷ 13 ‘in-detail’ sections focusing on one or more scenes and ❸ post-reading tasks. Each in-detail section includes:

A ‘check-in’ exercise to remind pupils of main events and encourage speculation – perfect as a lesson starter!
Quotation tasks that encourage familiarity with characters and language
A variety of thought-provoking activities including reading, writing, speaking and listening, drama and creative tasks that clearly link to the curriculum

Caters to your whole class:

Short, student-friendly scene summaries can be used alongside the activities where needed
Extension activities, essay guidance and independent learning prompts challenge more able pupils

It provides a range of activities which, in turn, means that the needs of all learners would be met

C Carter, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

Suitable for KS3 or a lower-ability GCSE class, you can use this resource as a complete scheme for teaching the play, or pull out individual worksheets as needed.
