Here is a KS3 Scheme of Work/ Programme of Study for a Brecht. The program is designed to last 6 to 8 weeks and is filled with exciting tasks to help students enhance their understanding the theatre techniques of Brecht.

All 70 slides are structured task by task, allowing for flexibility depending on the learning pace of the cohort. The program includes support for learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), teaching resources, links to relevant YouTube videos, references to booklet activities, and more. There is a workbook for students to accompany the PowerPoint, which was implemented to show evidence of teaching and learning. It is packed with tasks to accommodate all levels of learning and interaction. This project is taught in Year 7 but is suitable for KS2 as well.

The PowerPoint presentation is easy to read, uncluttered, and provides clear direction, making it ideal for non-specialist teachers or those new to teaching. Supporting notes are included with the slides where necessary. Minimal adaptation should be required but a grading system will need to be added.
These materials were created by a non-specialist educator with dyslexia, who was tasked with teaching a few hours a week from a complex scheme of work in a department with limited or no resources. Over the past 6 years, PowerPoint teaching resources have been developed to support non-specialists and new teachers, and more recently, work booklets have been introduced to support theory-based learning and evidence of teaching.
