This booklet directly supports the AQA Component 2 Devising Process as: Students can take photos of their initial brainstorms, and include them in Section 1 of their Devising Portfolio/written work It gives students a variety of visual, auditory and linguistic stimuli to explore Students identifying their favourite stimulus can aid in how the teacher groups students for the practical element of Component 2 The last two pages of the booklet encourage students to look at why they chose the stimulus - something which can assist students in accessing the top band of the Section 1 Devising Portfolio marking criteria This resource is designed as an independent homework booklet, but could easily be used for small group work or whole class activities.

A full scheme of work for studying the play Noughts and Crosses for GCSE Drama - AQA Set Text. The first 21 lessons are about exploring the play and are mostly practical with some exam technique, so students are introduced to the questions. Then there is revision and an end of unit assessment in the style of a mock exam. There are also detailed revision resources for revising the play for the final exam, a revision booklet for students, examplar answers, and additional sets of exam questions. Some of the powerpoints are quite brief and simple, because some lessons are purely practical, but the revision powerpoints are a lot more detailed. Please note, I focus on the acting 20 mark question and not the design 20 mark question in this scheme.

In-depth lesson (can also be used for revision) on the design question. Includes all design elements: Lighting, Set, Sound, Costume and Puppets

This lesson focuses on getting students to form opinions of Mrs Lyons at the start of the play, and introducing them to the concepts of hero, antihero and villain. Students find evidence for their opinions in the text, and are exposed to sophisticated vocabulary to describe Mrs Lyons as they read.

Please note that the students have copies of black roses and the image is for illustration purposes only. Music tracks are MP3 tracks and all rights belong to the artists. 1 writing frame: This writing frame has been developed from the new specification and is in line with the features of the exemplar work provided by AQA. The questions provided are to support weaker students who would struggle to meet the criteria. The grading will be developed from their responses. Lesson 3 can be delivered as 4 individual lessons with the stimulus shown individually. Or alternatively to support students whilst exploring other stimulus. Feel free to adapt the resource from this, hence it's low price.

In depth Powerpoint with videos and detailed exemplars (40 slides). This Powerpoint can be used for lessons or is an outstanding revision resource to send home to students.

Three lessons on how to approach writing the Devised Drama Log Book for the current AQA GCSE Drama syllabus. The lessons go through the requirements of the what the students need to write for each section and breaks it down into thoughtful statements designed to bring out focused and detailed responses to the general points given in the specification. There are also worksheets to help guide the students before they are start the written work and to self or peer asses their work after it is completed. The worksheets are not designed to be writing frames and I would advise against giving them to students to use for that purpose. Any outlines, paragraph or sections headings used in these documents are taken from the specification and not additional new material.
