7th Grade Drama/Theater Lesson Plans

These lesson plans have been designed for 7th grade students with some experience of drama, preferably having been taught in 6th grade previously. These schemes of work lean more heavily on the creative side, with the students being taught to interpret existing texts and music, develop their improvisation skills and devise original dramatic pieces.

Each lesson plan follows the same format, with warm up schemes, whole class and group activities as well as learning objectives and homework. Each unit ends with an assessment lesson so that students' progress can be measured.

The schemes of work are designed to link into other curricular activities, using themes and backdrops common in 7th grade drama teaching.
