I used a form of this during lockdown with year 8 but have adapted and added it to it to suit the classroom. Student engagement was fantastic- they were really interested and created some brilliant work. There are two moments in this scheme where students ideally need use of a phone. However this can be easily adapted if it goes against your school policy/if students don’t have access to one. There is also one lesson that would work better in computer room but can be done hand written if this is not possible. I also have other schemes available :)

I hope you enjoy and it comes in handy!

This is a unit of work containing five lessons to take you through the book. I used the hardback pop-up version but the paperback novel is also fine. The lessons involve individual, paired and group work and use well-known drama strategies. I did this work with a class of Year 2 who had been taught drama by me since reception. If you have Year 2 children who are used to drama then this will work for you; if you have Year 3 or 4 children who are not used to drama this will also work well with them. Lesson 1 - Welcome to the Factory. The children create the chocolate factory to music. Each group contributes a different aspect of the machine. Lesson 2 - Winning the Golden Ticket. This lesson uses the drama strategies: thought circle, freeze frame and thought tapping Lesson 3 - Meet Willy Wonka. This lesson uses the drama strategies: role on the wall, conversations and hot seating Lesson 4 - Investigating the Four Rooms. This lesson uses the drama strategies: mime and freeze frame Lesson 5 - And Finally… This lesson uses the drama strategies: freeze frame, dialogue These five lessons are supported by 11 resources: - several pictures - a newspaper article to print out - a golden ticket to print out - a role on the wall figure - prompts to hand out to the children - extracts from the book This pack is also accompanied by a power point presentation of all of the pictures.

I have been working on this resource for the last year on and off and it is used for students for any of the following reasons: 1 - removal from lesson 2 - unable to participate practically 3 - isolated students ( taken from lesson) 4 - room changes ( for exams etc to a desk based space) especially last minute ones. 5 - when students are off school and parents request work ( brilliant as it can be emailed and there is no reason why it cannot be done on line) 6 - emergency cover for non specialists or people who panic when they are given a drama cover The booklet is 38 pages and each page is a stand alone activity for them to do. It is designed for them to do without your input ( ideal for removal - DT etc) The booklet features various work, questions, word search activities, design activities and can be used from yr 7-9.Templates are provided for written work as well as drawing / design tasks, so this really is an ideal booklet to send with the student who cannot work in your room. It features work on: character - role work costume design make up design risk assessment / H&S melodrama storyboards and other activities. Use this booklet as either a printed resource, or if you have little budget; project the activity on the board and students can complete it on paper.

A range of warm up activities for Zoom or Online Drama lessons. Organised into these categories: For Energy For Physical Skills For Vocal Skills For Character Building Entrances and Exits Lighting Sound Costume Performing Make your Online Drama classroom as fun and interesting as your real life classroom!

This is a half term's worth of once-a-week lessons that might be useful to you, particularly if you have never taught Drama before!
