Drama Exemplar - Lesson exemplars using A State Apart website
 


This example demonstrates the value of the resource in researching the role of individuals. On a very basic level the CDROM can generate excellent biographical information on the key personalities involved in the Troubles. Teachers would aid the learning outcome by a preparatory lesson(s) on the structure of the British Government and the mechanics of Direct Rule either through use of textbook material or the State Apart video or similar.

Topic Coursework for AS drama
Learning Outcome Pupils research of victims experience into their drama piece
Key Concepts Performance
A State Apart Focus [TROUBLES]
[LEGACY]
Citizenship Attitudes
Suggested Activities Recommended using two 30-40 minute teaching periods, with back-to-back sessions being ideal.

Pupils should be equipped with a clear instruction on how to access and navigate the site and have a well-defined work sheet indicating:

· Research goals and information recorded
· Record knowledge of the context in which these experiences happened
· Note performance ideas

Follow Up The work completed in these lessons could lead the teacher in any number of educational directions
· A script outline of one individual's experience to be performed is the most obvious
· A group performance using a series of individuals' experiences
