CLOWNING AROUND THE WORLD

MAKING MAGIC - DRAMA BY FILM GENRE
This beautifully designed scheme of work was designed with a class of wildly imaginative and creative Year 8s who absolutely loved it. It engages students through a range of practical activities to explore various traditions of clowning and comedy:
Modern Clowning
Italian Commedia dell'arte
French Mime
Japanese Rakugo
Silent film
There is a suggested short project at the end which gives students a choice in terms of how to demonstrate their learning. This unit even has detailed report comments you can edit and use as needed. As always, our slides are unbeatably beautiful! Your class will be engaged by the joy that explodes out of every slide!
 
This is a full scheme of work for 6 lessons plus a final project of two more lessons so will take you through an 8 week term. There is detailed (editable) guidance for the teacher, accompanied by over 60 beautifully designed slides (also editable if you want to adapt them for your context) and with music suggestions and useful videos built into the slides where appropriate. Each lesson includes a register question; a short provocation for discussion; a warm-up activity; a main practical activity; and a reflective exercise.
