Baseline Assessment in Drama
This scheme of work and 6 lesson plans is designed to be used as an introductory resource for teachers welcoming new Year 7 students in to Drama.
The scheme encourages students to explore their imagination, without having to lead them too much, hence creating a good starting point to judge their baseline level upon entry.
Teachers can then use the students first levels to build up a picture of progress and tracking from the start of the new school year.
I have also included a bonus introductory task that can be used at the start of the scheme, if time permits, that our teachers believe help the creative process.
