Complete the activities in ‘The Withered Arm’ work-pack then attempt a rough
draft of the essay question; ‘Which Character do you Feel Most Sorry For;
Gertrude or Rhoda?’ Give evidence from the text to support your ideas’.
Year 10 Drama


Using ‘GCSE Bitesize’ website, revise the use of explorative strategies, mediums
and elements, working through the online activities.
If this is complete, students can re-draft their portfolios based on the work they
did for ‘The Tempest’, in order to practice their written skills.
Year 10 Media Studies


Students can work on their Textual Analysis pieces on ‘Magazines’.
Write a detailed analysis in which you compare the layout and style of two similar
magazine texts produced some years apart.
Students may use the WJEC course-book which can be accessed online, to remind
themselves of the relevant key terms and analysis techniques to help them complete
the task.
Year 12 Drama



Using the AQA A2 course book, read through chapters 1-18, familiarising
yourselves with the examination criteria and requirements for the two set texts.
(These are to be confirmed by BC but I presume one of them will be ‘The Good
Person of Szechwan’ by Brecht).
Research key themes, intentions and practitioner’s ideals in the production of the
set texts.
Research previous live performances of the set text plays and make notes on how
they aimed to communicate specific effects for their audiences. Use the coursebook for a list of suggestions (p. vii and viii).
