This is the book for teachers who want to deliver a creative, challenging and inspiring drama course to students across Years 7-9. Combining practical lesson ideas and scenes ideal for study, the book is designed to ensure progression across the three years and provides strong foundations for future delivery of any formal drama qualification from here on. Equal weighting is placed on the three year groups with a range of exciting and varied tasks exploring the use of voice, movement and space in increasingly sophisticated ways through games, warm-ups, improvisation exercises and creative exploration of contemporary plays featured throughout. Key practitioners are frequently referenced, helping to embed a knowledge of theatre history and practice at this crucial stage of learning.
