A 15-minute assembly that I created on Resilience. Looking at how success is never linear, how failure is ‘normal’ and practical ways to develop a resilient mind-set. The script for the assembly can be found on the later slides of the ppt. I used it with KS3 and KS4 but it would also be suitable for KS2.

**Btec Performing Arts Comp 2 - Rehearsal Log ** Generic - can be used with any scripted play for any exam board AQA/Edexcel/EDUQAS The work-booklet is in two parts : Exploratory activities to help develop character Rehearsal Log I created it so that they work concurrently so we do a few exploratory tasks for homework and fill in the rehearsal log at the end of each lesson. *Please note, that this is not endorsed by the Pearson Btec Performing Arts in anyway and is a resource I created for my own class. * Pearson would not accept this as proof of Comp 2 as its too detailed (!) but it can all be used to help write the evaluation at the end.

A Drama Curriculum Map from Year 7 - 11 Wondering how to build a curriculum from scratch? Wanting to know what other departments are doing? Use mine! The foundational philosophy (yes, Arsene - I have one too!) is: SKILLS, SCRIPTS AND STYLES. These foundations connect directly to what a pupil needs to be able to recognise and apply in an A-level Theatre Studies course, even though this curriculum does not go up to this level.

Maybe its your first time being in charge of a main school production? It’s going to be great. Here is a spreadsheet that lays out what needs doing when. There are two ways of looking at it depending on how you like to organise yourself. A list of the jobs in chronological order or the categories of jobs linked together. Do not try to do all the jobs yourself - delegation is your friend! And its always alright on the night! Even when its not - we once had a county wide electricity cut and it turned out even better!

This is a piece of writing I did to go on to my school website about The Drama Department and its approach to curriculum creation and choice. If you are having to do a similar thing - feel free to use mine as a starting point.
