Here are some booklets I have put together with resources iv found and some of my own for after easter (they only have Drama every other week so there are only 6 lessons altogether). They are not perfect and I threw them together but could be a good starting point…

The possible extension tasks are on the lesson plan. I found some of the resources on here but added my own twist.

A compilation of other resources from TES into this Year 7 full lesson (1 hour 10 minutes) with timers that I used for a job interview and got the job might I add. Numeracy and Literacy starter (all mine), Inference definition, inference task from images, a quick quiz style activity after reading extract, retrieving of quotes from the text and an exit pass (all mine). Extension task included but as a group with teacher modelling you could expand on one of the quotes as a plenary. In preperation for PEEL paragraphs in the next lesson.

A two hour workshop where Year 13 pupils can explore the themes of the play. It's a good way of capturing moments they can use throughout performance as a chorus.

Hello, I have attached some things I have put together for the corona virus work i am sending home to students in year 7 and 8 (who are doing the same thing as they did not have consecutive teaching last year), 9, 10 and 11. These are lesson for just 2 weeks of work… we work on a 2 week cycle so this is work for before Easter. These are not perfect by any means but they could be a useful start.

I offered to do a Drama Inset in my school to try and raise awareness of benefits of Drama and visibility of Drama for students in a school where Drama is deemed as a doss about subject :(. I put this together and had some really good responses and since teachers started to use Drama within their lessons I've seen a vast improvement on pupils interaction in Drama and interest towards the subject. Teachers were reluctant at first but got into the swing of things. I ended up showing and demonstrating all of the techniques based on topics that teachers were studying at the moment, i.e. internet safety for the conscious alley, science apparatus for physical theatre, re-creating the life story of a painter in art through role play and so on... The discussion was opened up at the end of the session where I facilitated the content.

Introduction to Hercules legend with script writing and performance. The script was borrowed from another TES user and slightly adapted to fit with what I wanted my Year 7’s to do. (This is a cover lesson so it is not very detailed but something you could work from perhaps!)

Much like the famous 5 minute planner for teachers, I have designed this group planner to help students quickly plan what their performances in Drama will be based on. Although it could be adapted for anything! It asks students for: The Big Picture Success Criteria Roles and Responsibilities Creative Intentions Stimulus Response Initial Ideas and thoughts Possible Structure

Just a quick intro used for year 7's to introduce Gesture, Expression, Movement and Space. Do what you will with it... it's by no means a completed scheme of work, however, it does help with focused feedback when asking pupils to specifically focus on these four main areas!

A short 50 minute lesson that could easily be shortened or extended with less warm up activities or more rehearsal times or performance time. A really quick lesson that I remember my PGCE mentor threw together (no lesson plan) whilst I was on placement with her. I have adapted it and rehashed it and created a PP and basic lesson plan to go with it. (Now 4 years into teaching!).

A practical exploration of the emotional relationships that are affected when there is addiction in the family or around.
