Responding to a stimulus - Practical + desk based activities -PPs

Dive into a dynamic scheme of work where performance begins with a powerful stimulus and grows through exploration, debate, and bold physical storytelling. Students unpack meaning through live reviews, capturing immediate reactions and sharpening critical thinking in real time. Using Head vs Heart reflections and evolving word clouds, they explore both intellectual responses and emotional impact, deepening their connection to the material.

Ideas are brought to life through striking freeze frames, crafting precise moments of tension and symbolism, before expanding into energetic physical comic strips that transform narrative into movement, rhythm, and visual storytelling. This sequence of lessons builds analytical skill alongside creative risk-taking—encouraging students to respond instinctively, collaborate confidently, and turn thought into theatrical action.
