An ambitious cross-curricular scheme of work using war poetry by Siegfried Sassoon and Kate Tempest, and photographs from the Imperial War Museum collection as stimuli to create an episodic performance work for assessment. Includes PowerPoint presentations, visual worksheets that can be printed out or used digitally in class, optional homework tasks and music to accompany performances. Great for encouraging students to develop a physical theatre style or for working with realism, improvisation and writing for performance.
A series of six lessons which can be augmented or diminished to suit your curriculum delivery. The scheme can also be adapted into a series of stand-alone workshops. Materials can also be adapted for use with students in KS4 and KS5, or across across other Performing Arts disciplines including Dance.
