This is a unit of work designed for KS3, where students look at the work of John Godber and his unique style of performance. This unit would also work as an introduction to GCSE Drama.
The purpose of this unit is to teach students about exaggerated physicality and voice and how they can multi-role effectively on stage.
The unit begins with a focus on Teechers and also focuses on the Barbers/Hairdressers scene from Bouncers.
Resources have been adapted so that they are appropriate for a younger audience.
This is a boardgame created to engage learners in component 1 of the BTEC Tech Award in Performing Arts.
There are two games - one for the Dance and one for the Drama pathway.
The boardgame includes our set works (West Side Story, Revelations, Swansong, Blood Brothers and Teechers) but is easily adapted to suit your own set works.
Students can roll a dice to decide which questions to answer and in which order. It can be done as a game between peers or a solo task.
This includes three workshop explorations that provides evidence for comp 1 LAB (exploring the performance arts)
It focuses on the set works:
Blood Brothers
Teechers
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time
It includes three workshops and a quiz which consolidates, assesses and develops students understanding of LAA.
I also have a range of lessons, model examples and worksheets to support LAA.
This scheme is aimed at Year 7, introducing some key/basic drama skills. Looking specifically at Mr Nixon’s monologue from the play ‘Teechers’ by John Godber.

3 Plays were studied in Component 1 Two- Jim Cartwright, Teechers- John Godber and Curious Incident- Simon Stephens. I personally try to use ‘Two’ for this component as it lends itself well to the practical side of the component. Component 3 also runs alongside this unit. The component is explored through a series of lessons and Developments which can then lead into use in internal assessments. These can also be utilsed as Mock Assessments.
The work covers Warm-ups, Links to Practitioners Style, Tasks, Modelling/Examples, Students Activities, Videos and Reflection/Review Tasks.
