This resource is a full devising power point with over 25 lessons in. The resource includes everything your students need to get started with devising including practical techniques and stimuli. This resource is aimed at year 10 and 11 students, but could be easily adapted for lower years. There is also a booklet included which has space for students to develop their ideas on the stimuli and record their thinking in a trackable way for their course work.

For the Cambridge IGCSE Drama syllabus (0411) students are required to devise a small group piece of drama (coursework component) that lasts no longer than 15 minutes (regardless of the group size - 2 - 7 persons). It is up to the teacher to provide appropriate sources of stimuli for the groups to respond to (and the stimuli can not be the same as the pre-release paper). I have created a booklet that will help them create their final devised piece, including a summary of the assessment criteria, a choice of three stimuli (a picture, a quote and song lyrics in this case, but you could change them according to your groups needs). Then there are notes on various dramatic devices, structure and form, what needs to be in their devised piece and performance advice. Hope this is useful! :-)

This booklet has been designed to guide students through their devising and allow them to keep track of all their research and work for their portfolio.

Hello! Here I have a workbook for devising a piece of drama from a stimulus. This would be ideal as both a 'dry run' for the OCR GCSE new specification 'devising drama' unit, or for a standalone unit at key stage 3. In the booklet, students will: - Respond to a stimulus image - Come up with a range of concepts in relation to the image - Storyboard their main idea - Create character profiles for major characters - Write a portion of a script for the performance - Evaluating rehearsals -Evaluating performances -Engaging in a range of design work activities (such as set and costume designs) Has proved popular with studnets (fun) and staff (low maintenance) Feedback welcomed and appreciated!

This is the booklet prepared to guide students as they are working on their group devised piece ahead of the Written Examination. It was created during the pandemic, after the students did not complete the devised piece as per CIE’s requirements in their first year of the course. This same piece will later be developed for the Coursework. This booklet will become even more useful once the new curriculum of IGCSE Drama (0411) for examination as from 2022 whereby students can do the same devised piece for the Written Examination and Coursework. The resource is broken down into eleven lessons. It contains the learning objectives as well as instructions for the activities to produce a devised piece over the course of 9 lessons and to reflect on the process and outcome in the form of 5-mark questions from Section A of the IGCSE Drama Written Examination. Lesson 10 is for the performance and lesson 11 is a reflection lesson whereby the class reviews their work. Furthermore, there is detailed information about requirements for answer an upper band long answer question, based on the mark schemes and examiners’ reports. The resource also contains practice question with scaffolding based off the mark schemes from CIE. This ensures the focus is on devising in order to answer the Written Examination questions.

We have created an adaptable group booklet for mapping the devising process. All tasks and resources are optional or changeable and we always use them as a suggestion for students. We have used the EDEXCEL GCSE criteria but again this could be changed. We also use a simplified version for our KS3 students when introducing them to making their own work for the first time. We also have a KS5 version which includes information on practitioners. The booklet covers as much about devising as possible and has been a great tool to inspire them when they have found it challenging or when they need to consider the best creative 'next step'. It has been particularly useful in getting LA students to log and monitor their progress in a relevant way and allowing them to look back and reflect on their work.

This is a resource design for a costume design student to independently work through for a devised piece of theatre. This can be easily adapted.

Please do comment on my resources so that I can continue to update and expand them. If you need any more information/clarification please comment and I will update my resources ASAP!
