Key Stage 3

In Drama we focus on developing confidence, communication,cooperation and concentration. The work done in these lessons also supports the Key Stage 3 English curriculum.

Lessons are varied and may be skills based or thematic in approach. There is a strong emphasis on working together in pairs and groups.

Students learn how to shape a piece of drama, build convincing characters and communicate a story to an audience.

Throughout the key stage we work on:

• The use of voice, space and body language

• Freeze frame

• Mime

• Thought tracking

• Monologues

• Addressing the audience

• Soundscapes

• Prepared improvisation

• Spontaneous improvisation

• Working from a simple script

• Flashback
