Lesson Plans for Year 8 Drama Teaching

These modules have been designed for year 8 students with some experience of drama, preferably having been taught in Year 7 previously. These schemes of work lean more heavily on the creative side, with the students being taught to interpret existing texts and music, develop their improvisation skills and devise original dramatic pieces.

Each lesson plan follows the same format, with warm up schemes, whole class and group activities as well as learning objectives and homework. Each unit ends with an assessment lesson so that students' progress can be measured.

The schemes of work are designed to link into other curricular activities, using themes and backdrops common in Key Stage 3 teaching.
