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.

This is a scheme of work for the play “Orpheus” by Ted Hughes, you’ll need copies of the play for this scheme. It’s a really nicely written version of the Orpheus and Eurydice story for young people. You’ll need to change the page numbers in the PPT depending on what version you buy, I typed it up on to paper. It’s a good scheme for Y7/8/9 introducing them to studying a play, exploring characters, empathy, status and tension, some design ideas, the context of Greek theatre and also physical theatre. There is an assessment at the end and I have suggested scenes that could be used for assessment - you’ll need to edit the PPT for the assessment criteria your school uses. There is one homework task which uses AQA exam style questions to develop knowledge of how to answer these. The context marketplace activity could also be set as a homework research task instead. Hope it is useful :)

A set of resources for teaching the AQA A level Set text A Servant to Two Masters. Contains powerpoints, worksheets, model essays, revision resources, design ideas. Full scheme of work suggested with basic structure for studying the play. Covers introduction to the unit, context, Commedia Dell Arte style, teaching the play scene by scene, how to write the exam response, model answers, exam technique, design, and revision. Please note - some powerpoints are quite basic as I haven’t included any images I don’t have copyright for. The National Theatre YouTube clips are also very good for teaching Commedia practically.
