Year 10 – Drama

Head of Subject: Mrs H Lloyd

Intended Outcomes

Component 1 – Students will be able to devise their own piece of theatre based on given stimuli to be performed in year 10, tracking their decision process and developing a written portfolio. 
 
Component 3 – Using the play DNA, students will understand the performance and design skills needed as well as exploring characters, themes, context and plot of the play in preparation for a written exam to be taken the following year. 
 
Component 2 – Students will explore varying techniques and skills to aid performance and explore a range of performance texts to choose for a final performance the following year. 

  • Course Implementation

    Component 1 

    Students will explore given stimuli, developing a range of ideas into a devised student lead performance with a student chosen dramatic intention as well as working to develop a written portfolio split into 6 questions designed to explain, analyse and evaluate the process they have undergone. This will be assessed through a recorded performance as well as a 1500-2000 word portfolio split into six questions, developed over the year and moderated by the exam board. 

    Component 2 – Performance From Text 

    Students will over the course of the year understand what skills and styles may affect staging a scripted play, the importance of context and will work to choose from a range of play texts in preparation for a performance in year 11. Students will only be in the early stages of this in year 10 and will work towards a performance assessed by the exam board in year 11. 

    Component 3 – Theatre Makers in Practice 

    Students will both practically and theoretically explore the individual scenes of the play DNA and their characters, the context and themes of the play and the performance and design skills needed to analyse the play in the year 11 written exam. This will be assessed through book work, discussion, observations of practical activities and mock exam tasks. 

Learning Impact

Students will be able to produce and perform their own performances based on a stimuli, explaining, analysing and evaluating their own progress. This will be fed back to parents through written reports, parent’s evenings and school wide data reports.
