A Power Point and Marking Criteria handout in preparation for a costume question on Blood Brothers for Section A of the written exam. There is information on specific things to look out for within the costume, research on the era, tasks on colour and material. The final task is looking at two examples of an 8 mark costume question and students using the marking criteria to mark them.

Included is an example Concept Pro Forma for Presenting and Performing Texts for OCR GCSE Drama. The Pro Forma is based on performing ‘Blood Brothers’. This text is not allowed to be performed for this component but I have used it so that students are able to see an example of coursework that they won’t be able to copy whilst also revising for Section A of the written exam. This includes a PowerPoint with the 4 questions and answers then some questions to get them thinking about what to write and the criteria they are marked on.

This powerpoint includes direction on the possible types of questions that could be on the exam and how the students could answer them. It includes tasks, peer assessment and learning objectives. The power point has one slide that mentions blood brothers as the set text but could be easily adapted to include a different one. The creating question worksheets are designed around Blood Brothers but again could be adapted. I suggest that it is taught over 3-5 lessons.
