Who? Me! (Devising Unit based on Cultural Identity)

WHO? ME! This is a free sample from the full pack available at www.the-understudy.org This beautifully designed scheme of work teaches students skills of devising while working on exploring the concept of their own identity - where they have come from and who they want to be. The focus on celebrating diversity and difference while finding community with each other is particularly suited to international schools or schools with a diverse community and encourages a sense of global citizenship. Likely most suitable for younger secondary students - perhaps the first term of Year 7, it uses a range of stimuli, including poetry, videos, and stories to inspire carefully crafted work. The full scheme of work is available at www.the-understudy.org and is 6-9 lessons*, with detailed (editable) guidance for the teacher, accompanied by over 50 beautifully designed slides (also editable if you want to adapt them for your context) and with music suggestions built into the slides where appropriate. Each lesson includes a register question; a short provocation for discussion; a warm-up activity; a main practical activity; and a reflective exercise. *6 lessons + class devised piece or group assessed task for 2-3 lessons The full pack includes: 6 full lessons Over 50 beautiful slides Music links + soundscapes built in End of unit project / assessment
