This resource is a homework pack that i distributed to my learners over the half term. It gives them a brief and a written example , as well as some information on the physical skills to complete a physical skills audit. The work students produced was excellent and much more detailed as a result of this resource.
This resource is lesson 1 in a 5 Soldiers SOW useful mainly for COMPONENT 1 on the BTEC TECH award but stands alone for any other curriculum years too.
Lesson 1 explores the first section of 5 soldiers and includes a creative task for students to complete as part of a workshop.
This resource is for the beginning of the second phase of the Component 3 exam. I wanted to get my students thinking about different methods/techniques they could use to create more material-something that they will need to write about in their SKILLS LOG which will come in a few weeks time.
The lesson encourages groups to try 2 out of the 4 suggested techniques for coming up with choreography/creating. This could EASILY be changed to 4 drama techniques/musical theatre techniques or even production techniques if needed .
The ppt includes a creation canvas slide that i have printed out A3 for my students to. track their ideas/findings on. The resource also comes with a personal management SKILLS log that i am going to get them to fill out quickly each lesson- this will track their progress/contributions to the process which again they will need to write about in their SKILLS LOG.
A colourful review log for students at milestone 1 for component 2, this gives an outline of what students should include as well as target setting sheets and logs for them to fill in.
This resource was created to support students in writing workshop journals for component 1. Students work improved drastically when using this resource.
Students are encouraged to add more detail to their work, there are multiple examples on the ppt and students are encouraged to write a section and then have a partner check their work using PADDY MCGUINESS no likey no highlighty! It is simple for each element of detail a different colour highlighter is used so that students can visually see which elements of detail they are missing in their work.
This is an activity designed for students to work from home. I have set my y9 the challenge of completing 1 per week but you could challenge students to complete a line or full house.
Adaptable so you can change the tasks on here to anything else.
