KS3 Year 7 Drama - Greek Theatre
I created this as a 6 lesson scheme for the start of year 7 but this could work with Y8.
Students are introduced to Greek Theatre with a focus on creating chorus work. All lessons start with a paired talk do now and the scheme ends with a Learning Checkpoint where students record feedback. Skills/techniques taught include:
Mime
Narration
Exaggeration
Unison
Cannon
Greek Amphitheatre/Thrust staging
Choral speaking
Use of Rhythm
There is also an optional extra intro lesson to settle new year 7’s into drama at secondary.
There are 2 youtube videos embedded which you can access in presenter mode by clicking on the image tile.
