Curriculum-based activities

Using drama activities to cover the Citizenship curriculum helps students to develop personal and group responsibility for themselves and others, and encourages them to express their own opinions.

This popular pack by leading drama specialist Brian McGuire contains three specially devised drama-based projects on the themes of bullying, rights and responsibilities, and truancy.

Cover key topics

The projects allow students to explore some of the moral and social issues relevant to Citizenship. For example, our rights and our responsibilities as citizens; community involvement and activities; systems of justice; and how to bring about change. Each project consists of eight one-hour drama sessions plus further ideas for development.

The pack includes:

• detailed lesson plans
• worksheets for students and teachers
• student evaluation sheets
• summary sheets for departmental schemes of work.

Cross-curricular potential

The projects also enable you to fulfil KS3, KS4 and GCSE Drama, Performing Arts, PSHE and Citizenship curricula.
