Overview: Students will read the first play in the HDM version created for the National Theatre by Nicholas Wright. There may be value in letting them read on once the work has been concluded, though this is not part of the plan. The students will gain confidence in handling dramatic texts and build awareness of symbolism, language to create effect and develop themes, as well as general theatrical techniques. They will improve their S+L skills and produce both written work and short film/Radio snippets.AOs relevant from Edexcel IGCSE:AO1: speaking and listeningAll students will be required to demonstrate the ability to:(i) communicate clearly and imaginatively(ii) use standard English appropriately(iii) listen to and understand varied speech(iv) participate in discussion, by both speaking and listening,judging the nature and purposes of contributions and the roleof participants.AO2 ReadingAll students will be required to demonstrate an ability to:(i) read and understand texts with insight and engagement(ii) develop and sustain interpretations of writers’ ideas and perspectives(iii) understand and make some evaluation of how writers use linguistic andstructural devices to achieve their effects.AO3 Writing All students will be required to demonstrate an ability to:(i) communicate clearly and appropriately, using and adaptingforms for different readers and purposes(ii) organise ideas into sentences, paragraphs and whole textsusing a variety of linguistic and structural features(iii) use a range of sentence structures effectively, with accuratepunctuation and spelling.TASKS:Role on wall technique to develop understanding of character, based on analysis of languagePerformances of sections to explore different interpretationsFilm/record sections to develop awareness of dialogue and settingTranformational writing – turning a section into proseDaemon display –symbolismGroup discussionsIndividual readings.CONTEXTS:Parallel universe idea: The notion of a separate world, or plane of existence, or realm, has existed in the human imagination from time immemorial.
