Activity:

Voice Warm Up (Controlled breathing)
Game – move body to music with no inhibitions (embodying characters)

Stimuli:
Projected picture of two young boys sitting amongst rubble
Two articles regarding sexism

Activity:
Groups create a piece of drama based on stimuli – they will work on this over two weeks

Aim:
From this lesson, Miss S was able to learn how the new class work together and how the individual students work, i.e. who takes the lead in the group exercise, who needs to work on group discussion, who is least confident and how much subject knowledge the students have. The lesson also allows the group to bond as friends through being uninhibited, for example with the dance activity. The homework set is that each group needs to bring another stimuli to help their piece of drama progress – this allows the students to learn how to build on their research in devised pieces.
