difference between types of
drama texts.
          What is Drama?
   Drama texts are written for actors who play the
   characters and perform the dialogue and action.
Drama scripts are used for plays, radio performances,
 television and films and each type of script contains
    different features. Read the opening scene of
    Shakespeare’s Macbeth on the following slide.

Act 1, Scene 1

SCENE I. A desert place.
  Thunder and lightning. Enter three Witches


First Witch:      When shall we three meet again
                  In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
Second Witch:     When the hurlyburly's done,
                  When the battle's lost and won.
Third Witch:      That will be ere the set of sun.
First Witch:      Where the place?
Second Witch:     Upon the heath.
Third Witch:      There to meet with Macbeth.
              Stage Script - Macbeth
First Witch       I come, Graymalkin!

Second Witch      Paddock calls.

Third Witch       Anon.

ALL               Fair is foul, and foul

   Social and Historical Context
Our Day Out


Objectives:
To learn about the author of the text.

To find out about the social and
historical context of the play.
                   Willy Russell
                   Our Day Out is influenced by Willy Russell’s
                   own experiences of education. As a boy
                   Russell left school without any
                   qualifications and worked at various jobs
                   including hairdressing and factory work.
                   After five years Russell enrolled at Chilworth
   Click the
                   County College and trained as a teacher and
photograph for a   it was whilst working in a secondary school
 more detailed     in Liverpool that Russell came up with the
  biography.       idea for Our Day Out. One day, he and
                   another teacher took their pupils on a trip to
                   Conway Castle in North Wales accompanied
                   by a strict deputy head teacher. During the
                   trip the deputy Head relaxed and enjoyed
                   himself but when they returned to school he
                   reverted to his old self.
           Setting and Themes
The play takes place in the contrasting
areas of Liverpool and Conway.
Conway is a picturesque coastal resort in
North Wales very different to the inner city
of Liverpool in the late 1970s. The
children in the play come from very poor
homes and live in areas of high
unemployment and social deprivation.
The majority of pupils on the trip are
members of the Progress Class. A group for
children with Special Educational Needs.
Many characters such as Carol and Andrews
appear neglected and have very difficult
home lives.

   a child? Explain your answer.
2. What emotions may Russell have about teachers and
   pupils?
3. Where did the idea for the play come from?
4. Can you think of any reasons Willy Russell may have for
   writing a play about children with learning difficulties?

   Infer & Deduce
Infer & Deduce
Objective:

•To learn how to infer
 and deduce information
 from a play
                Infer and Deduce
    Look at lines a and b very carefully. Which is longest?




We all see different things when we look at an image, read a
   book or watch a play. Being able to infer and deduce is
 about looking closely and picking up clues that tell us more
                  about the character or plot.
What can you see?
              Infer and Deduce
Look at the following image. Discuss what you think has
  happened. Use evidence from the picture to help you.

 Point, Evidence, Explain
Point, Evidence,
Explain
Objectives:
 To learn how to use P.E.E. when
 writing about a drama text.
            Writing about texts
 When writing about texts use the P.E.E formula. Make a
point, find some evidence and then explain the evidence in
                          detail.
   Don’t forget to explain yourself
 Use the information from your tables to write about either
    Mrs Kay or Mr Briggs. Do not forget to use the P.E.E
                 structure in your writing.
For example

 Mr Briggs does not like the way Mrs
 Kay treats the children: “She always
 reminds me of a mother hen rather
 than a teacher.” Here Mr Briggs is
 quite rude about Mrs Kay, he compares
 her to a farmyard animal and says
 that she does not act like a
 professional teacher.
         Plenary
Read out your work to the rest
of the group.
Discuss how you made
deductions about your
character based on actions
and dialogue from the play.

 What is the purpose of the story of the
          tortoise and the hare?
                        Theme
  Like the story of the tortoise and the hare many
 texts have a message or moral and may explore a
subject that the writer wants the audience to think
          about. This is called the theme.

Themes are many and varied and can include subjects such as:

                          Love
                           War
                        Prejudice

notice about how the characters are presented?
What does the word contrast mean?

Can you think of any contrasts that appear in Our
Day Out?

How does Willy Russell want us to feel about
characters such as Mrs Kay, Mr Briggs, Carol, etc?

How does Russell achieve this in Our Day Out?
    Be an active audience!
 To be an active audience don’t just sit there
            passively. Think about:

-How the setting and context affects the story
-Inference and deduction
-the attitudes expressed by the playwright
   through the characters
-the themes and subjects being discussed

5. What is the point Briggs is trying to make?
6. In this part of the play the children are compared
   to the animals in the zoo, can you find any
   examples in the text?
7. How are the children like the animals in the zoo?
                      In the hotseat
The trip is a success until it is discovered that the children have stolen
animals from the zoo. Think about the following characters: Mr Briggs,
Mrs Kay and the Zookeeper. What would they be thinking and feeling at
this point in the play?
                     In the hotseat
Split into groups of four. Each member of the group must assume the
identity of a character from the scene at the zoo (either Mrs Kay, Mr
Briggs or the Zookeeper) or a questioner. The questioner will put forward
a series of questions about the events at the zoo to each of the
characters. Characters must respond to the questions in detail and in
role, showing a depth of understanding of the character being portrayed.
Some ideas for questions are included on the next slide.

                                                         The

                                 done….

  Who might say that?
              Ideas for questions

  challenge the characters responses and draw out
  detailed answers from the other members of the
  group.

1. Mr. Briggs, in hindsight, what would you have done
   differently?
2. Mrs Kay, how would you have dealt with the situation of
   the children stealing the animals?
3. As a zookeeper what was your impression of the children
   from this school?
           Plenary

                 Point of View                       Mrs Kay   Mr Briggs My View
Good teachers should be like a friend to pupils

Schools trips are for the purposes of education

Pupils should have fun on a trip

There is no point educating children if there are
no jobs available to school leavers
Good teachers have strong discipline

We should feel sympathy for pupils from difficult
homes and try to give them some happiness
If children are not closely supervised they will
run riot
You can’t do much with weak pupils but you can
instil some discipline and common sense into them.

      At the beach
At the Beach
Objectives:
• To understand how tension is
  created in a scene
                    At the Beach
 Read the play up to the part where Carol
 comes down from the cliff (scene 35).
This is a scene is full of tension, but what does that actually
mean? Consider the following situations. Which are tense?
1. Waiting for an injection.
2. Playing football in the
   park.
3. Sitting outside the head
   teacher’s office.
4. Chatting with your friends
   online.
                   What makes a situation tense?
                               Tension
What is tension?
The dictionary defines tension as mental worry or emotional strain.
Tension is caused by the buildup of suspense. Imagine you are on a
rollercoaster. As the rollercoaster climbs slowly to the top of the first drop how
do you feel? Click on the picture.
                                           In a drama text tension is used to
                                           inject drama and engage the
                                           audience. Click on the speakers
                                           below. These pieces of music are
                                           taken from a horror movie. What
                                           do you imagine would be
                                           happening on the screen whilst
                                           this music is playing? How does
                                           music add tension to a scene?
A lot happens at the beach but before we can look more closely at how tension is
built we must make sure we know exactly what happens. Below is a list of some
of the events which take place during this part of the play. Your task is to place
these events into the correct order.

                       Briggs finds Carol on top of the cliff.

                 Carol takes a step towards the edge of the cliff.

                   The children and Mrs Kay play on the beach.

              Briggs pulls Carol clear and wraps his arms around her.

                      Briggs stretches out his hand to Carol.

                     Mrs Kay realises Carol has gone missing.

     Carol moves to the very edge and looks down at the crashing waves below.

                      Carol slips and Briggs grabs out quickly.

                       The staff split up to search for Carol.

                    Carol refuses to come down from the cliff.

                 Carol threatens to jump from the top of the cliff.
