The second of two detailed schemes of work based on the study of Anne Frank's diary. Here, 6 lessons cover; Objectives, Starters, Introductions, Drama Development, Plenaries and homework. Indented to be taught from the scheme; no additional lesson plans are necessary. All resources are included (SCHEME 1 covers the previous 6 lessons - also available on TES). The scheme allows for the study of sections of text from Anne Frank’s diary. Students should develop empathy for Anne’s situation at the same time building a knowledge of World War II and the horrific acts of genocide. Hopefully this scheme will address the issue of prejudice in a way which will allow all students to question their own behaviour and opinions in an attempt to minimise acts of prejudice in your classroom and your school. Drama Learning Outcomes: The students will concentrate on using space constraints and Spectra of Theatre (Light/Dark, Noise/Silence) in order to create dramatic atmosphere and represent the element of fear.

Being not part of the National Curriculum, drama does not have it's own mark scheme at KS3. I created my own assessment scheme, the levels linked to the English NC levels. These assessment levels have been used in every school in which I have worked and the schools have adopted my system as it has proven to be very successful; both easy to use and accurate. I separated my drama assessments into three areas; 1. CO-OPERATION & IDEAS 2. PERFORMANCE 3. EVALUATION This resource is the second section; Performance and includes a teacher mark scheme along with poster sized assessment levels for display so that the students can also understand their level and how to get up to the next level. The levels; over a level 5 also begin to correlate with the GCSE assessment criteria.
