Start to build a collection of newspaper headlines which can be used as a stimulus for drama.

Choose one headline to build a lesson/series of lessons around.

Headlines:

• Tragic End
• Man Dies After Fall
• Why did the Sun turn red?
• The day the sky turned red

The one I have chosen – What do you mean there’s not a crumb left for me?

• What drama conventions will you use?

Thought Tracking

Freeze Frames/ Tableau

 

• What issues might be explored?

World Hunger

Why are some parts of the world starving?

 

• What interdisciplinary links might there be?

Children can also learn about other countries that have a lack of food.

 

• What Es&Os will be addressed?

Inspired by a range of stimuli, I can express and communicate my ideas, thoughts and feelings through drama. EXA 0-13a / EXA 1-13a / EXA 2-13a

I can respond to the experience of drama by discussing my thoughts and feelings. I can give and accept constructive comment on my own and others’ work. EXA 0-15a / EXA 1-15a / EXA 2-15a / EXA 3-15a

 

• How will you assess learning?

I will assess the learning through the thought tracking and how the children respond to this. This will determine whether or not they have understood the stimulus.

I will also assess the learning through discussion at the end of the lesson.
