Devising from an image: Narrative approaches

In this lesson, pupils will be introduced to a stimulus in the form of a photograph. Pupils will mindmap ideas in response to this, then choose one idea to develop into a narrative, creating a story for three characters.

Developing a response to a stimulus

In this lesson, students will take one character from their plotline and develop this character, exploring drama conventions to develop characters.

Creating a character and using empathy to develop characterisation

In this lesson, students will use drama techniques to develop their character further, and will write a monologue for their character, annotating this with ideas of how to perform it.

Developing a character and writing dialogue for performance

In this lesson, students will look at vocal and physical performance techniques and apply these to their performance, and if possible, ask someone to film them performing their monologue. They will watch their monologue back and evaluate their performance.
