Our Day Out Activity Pack for KS3

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.

This resource is fully comprehensive and goes above and beyond a typical scheme of work... It is a complete investigation into the text - it allows for masses of exploration around context, theme and language. Lots of drama opportunities - the only way to explore a play!... Offers a variety of tasks which would be appropriate for different ability pupils.
