Theatre Conventions: Complete 8-Lesson Drama Unit - Slides, Rubrics & Teacher Guide

A complete, ready-to-teach 8-lesson Drama unit covering theatre conventions, built for S1-S3/KS3/KS4 pupils and designed to keep even your most reluctant performers practical, accountable and on their feet.

Pupils progress through Freeze Frame, Slow Motion, Flashback & Flashforward, Monologue (the unit’s one written task), and Split Scene, before learning Narration & Aside and combining everything into a graded Final Performance across the last two lessons.

WHAT’S INCLUDED
52-slide PowerPoint deck covering all 8 lessons - hook, teach, practical task, success criteria and performance built into every lesson
Performance Rubrics - six detailed 4-band rubrics (Getting Started / Developing / Confident / Outstanding), each scoring Individual and Group skills separately so no pupil can hide inside a group mark
Pupil Feedback Sheets - colour-coded, ready to fill in live during performances
Unit Achievement Summary - tracks all six scores against a flat 144-mark total and five achievement bands
Teacher Delivery Guide - a minute-by-minute running order for all 8 lessons, so any member of the department (or a cover teacher) can pick this up and teach it with zero extra prep

Fully editable PowerPoint and Word Documents so you can adapt scenarios, stimuli and pacing to suit your own classes.
