Scheme of four lessons which explore Artaud and Meta Theatre. Students will explore the plot and key themes of The Woman In Black through the creation of short performances that use Artaudian techniques, build tension and create atmosphere for an audience. This scheme also incorporates sound and lighting for students to consider in their work. The scheme includes a project based task, homework task, knowledge organiser, peer assessment template and the additional resources required for each lesson.

This resource gives you a structured approach to assessment in Drama. Each element is clearly explained in the resources with suggestions on how these may be implemented in your schemes of work. This resource includes an assessment in drama document with grading criteria for staff and students which link to GCSE grades and ‘pathways’. There are 3 parts that make up this document; The Pillars of Drama - this underpins every part of the work explored by students within Drama, Teacher Grading Criteria - to be used by the teacher only during assessment and Student Grading Criteria - to be used by students to understand where they are currently in the development of their skills and what they must do to improve. There is also a ‘Progress Tracker’ included which is for students to use with each topic that they explore. There are two examples for Year 7 and Year 8 with a blank copy also included for you to design your own. Of course, all resources are editable to be tailored to your specific needs.
