Over the years I have taught English, Maths, PSHE, Film Studies, Media Studies as well as Drama. As a result of teaching many subjects I have spent hours creating schemes and resources so I am hoping this will save you a lot of time. I hope it does.
I also have many years experience as a Pastoral Leader / SEN Teacher meaning I also have resources to support effective behaviour management, 51ºÚÁÏ and Special Educational Needs.

This fairytale drama scheme of work was written for KS3 Drama. The unit of work includes lesson activities, learning objectives, outcomes, homework and suggested open and closed questions. The main focus of the unit of work is creating traditional fairytales using non-naturalistic techniques, as well as exploring modernising the plot.
This lesson plan, power point and resources were created to support the delivery of component 3 section B from the new Edexcel Drama syllabus. It can, however, be used to teach a live performance review from any syllabus.
The focus areas within the lesson are costume, set, lighting, space and levels. These areas are looked at individually working towards the completion of a live performance review.
This lesson plan includes suggested activities, suggested questions, learning objectives and outcomes.
The power point supports the lesson plan but for copyright reasons you will need to insert appropriate live performance still images. This means you could use images from the same performance to complete a live performance review, or from different performances to introduce the topic. Through introducing your own images you will be able to use the resources several times.
This scheme of work has been written to support the delivery of Component 3 Section B in the new Edexcel GCSE Drama specification. The unit of work could be adapted for any Live Performance Review unit being delivered at GCSE level.
The power point contains monologue workshop activities in order to support students through their choice of monologue as well as vocal and physical exploration. There are two resources attached to support the activities. Most of these activities can also be used when exploring duologues as well.
This Unit of Work has been adapted for Component 1 of the new Edexcel syllabus. However, it can be used for any Devising Unit or Theatre in Education Unit. The scheme of work includes lesson objectives, learning outcomes, suggested activities and homework, as well as suggested open and closed questions.
The accompanying power point is suitable for the entire scheme of work. For copyright reasons, I have been unable to use the pictures, but I have highlighted where I have used pictures in the power point.
There are five one off or cover lessons included that have been written for KS3 Drama. Each lesson has tasks and learning objectives. Included in the resources are:
A Day in The Life of a bully (Devising)
MacBeth' s Witches
Stereotypical Characters
Haunted House
Social Media (No.2)
This student resource can be taken to a live performance in order for students to take notes. There are key words which will support performance and production roles, and there are examples from "The Woman in Black".
This scheme of work contains a lesson focusing on whether fame and fortune is worth it , pictures as a stimulus, music as a stimulus and the Woman in Black film trailer. It can be used as an introduction to Component 1 of the Edexcel GCSE Drama, or can be used as a KS3 scheme of work.
The scheme of work contains lesson objectives, learning outcomes, suggested activities with extension tasks, suggested open and closed questions as well as homework tasks.
This spontaneous improvisation scheme of work contains three weeks worth of lessons (3 lessons per week). The scheme of work has suggested activities, lesson objectives, learning outcomes, homework, suggested open and closed questions and extension activities.
There are five cover lessons included here which are all based on the play "Blood Brothers." These can also be used as one off lessons. Ideally, all of these lessons would benefit from students being able to use the scripts, but this is not essential. The lessons include:
Blood Brothers - A Different Ending?
Mickey and Eddie Lesson
Characters from "Blood Brothers"
Music From "Blood Brothers" (Will need you to print the song lyrics)
Themes from "Blood Brothers"
There are five KS3 drama cover lessons included, as well as a word search starter that can be used as a bell activity for any cover lesson.
The soap characters and chat show lesson is a lesson plan containing learning objectives, learning outcomes, suggested activities, suggested open and closed questions, homework and extended activities.

There are five KS3 drama cover lessons, as well as a word search that can be used as a bell activity in any drama lesson.
The Street Drama cover involves students creating characters based on the residents in three houses. The students will be able to explore community living through drama.
The Soap Opera cover involves students creating their own soap opera.
The First Line, Setting and Plot Point cover gives students selected information that they use as a starting point to create pieces of drama.
The Old Man and His Grandson by Brothers Grimm cover looks at the discrimination faced by the Grandad and focuses on what the message is.
The Fairy Tale cover looks at creating a different ending to a familiar fairy tale.
This devising unit of work asks the question whether it is socially and morally right to discriminate, and it encourages students to explore this topic and create original pieces of drama to answer the question.
There are two workshops where racial discrimination is explored through the Rosa Parks story, two workshops where age discrimination is explored through "The Old Man and His grandson" by the Brothers Grimm, and two workshops where gender discrimination is explored through the suffragette movement.
There is a unit of work, and a power point that accompanies this.
When purchased, you would need to source your own suffragette pictures, and Rosa Parks information due to uncertainty of including them in this for copyright reasons, but the Brothers Grimm story is included.
This unit of work looks at the job role of the actor in terms of what qualities are required, which other roles they work with in the industry, and the final piece of work would be the creation of a power point to educate aspiring actors. Students will also research other roles within the acting industry.
This would ideally need to be delivered in an ICT room, but could be adapted for the classroom provided case studies of job roles could be provided.
There is a unit of work that contains learning objectives, learning outcomes, homework, suggested activities as well as suggested open and closed questions. The unit of work contains six lesson plans.
There is a project pack included which involves students exploring Theatre in Education, the purpose, the similarities and differences to theatre as well as the job roles within Theatre in Education. This forms a homework project that supports the unit of work.
Some of the resources are included, but actor case studies would need to be printed for one lesson. For copyright reasons I am unable to include these.
Two of the resources (Body Image and Derek Bentley) include a scheme of work with accompanying power points to support the delivery. One resource (Art Gallery) includes a power point with an accompanying student work book and voice and movement flashcards that can be used in any drama lesson. The Art gallery resource will require you to insert four pictures of your choice in order to create the art gallery. However, all activities within the resource can be used for any picture used.
Included in this bundle are 10 KS3 Drama cover lessons and 5 "Blood Brothers" Cover lessons.
These lessons can also be used as a one off lesson as all include lesson objectives and tasks. Some lessons will require you to print the stimulus, but this is referenced in the lesson.
The three resources included are:
Blue Stockings Scheme of Work, Power Point and Resources
DNA Scheme of Work and Power Point
The Woman in Black ( 6 x 1hr Workshops)
This unit of work looks at the genre of pantomime and enables students to look at pantomime conventions, characterisation, dialogue and production values. It can be used as a KS3 scheme of work, or for any devised unit at KS4.
The unit of work contains lesson objectives, learning outcomes, suggested class and homework activities and suggested open and closed questions.
There are also a selection of resources included.
