Lessons explore:
Frozen Pictures / Tableaux; Staging and Proxemics; Body Language & Facial Expressions; Stereotypes; Teacher-led Improvisation; and a final Assessment Performance.
  1. Lesson plans give clear learning objectives and detailed instructions – so you can concentrate on teaching
  2. Photocopiable pupil worksheets supplement practical work
    • PLUS! invaluable attainment levels grid – great for self-assessment and AfL
  3. Accompanying PowerPoint presentation keeps pace and focus throughout each lesson

Absorbing lessons will keep your whole class active and engaged, while building a strong foundation for further learning. After six lessons pupils will be proficient in basic drama skills – then consolidate new knowledge by performing their own improvisations.

What do teachers say about this resource? (6515)

A nice selection of activities... I would recommend this to [our HoD]. I think it could be a good addition to our KS3 SOW

P Robinson, Drama Teacher & Peer Reviewer

Good use of examples and the lessons develop the students' knowledge of drama. I like the use of a recent news story or event to display the students' development in Lesson one Activity three. The clear layout and full explanations enhance the resource, making it easy to read. Congratulations to the author; a well developed resource
