The lessons will work best alongside a Titanic Class Topic which will enable the students to use their class learning within the Drama and Literacy.
The students are prompted to research aspects of the story which are interesting or controversial and this is always a hook with students who can discuss these and give opinions.
We have not held back on the raw emotional elements of the tragedy and hopefully your students will embed these within their own ideas for scenes.
We have used a mix of fictional characters and real characters in our scene demonstrations and we suggest you do the same.
This gives students the chance to both step into the shoes of the real characters but also there is often a deeper association and connection with a created character.

TITANIC FEEDBACK
"I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to pilot the Titanic Drama Literacy. My class dread writing each week and this really gave the writing a purpose. They loved creating the drama scenes.
I also enjoyed the fact that the writing elements were short pieces as it allowed my class to think carefully about what to include in their writing.
I do have a rather able class with a few who do need a lot of support with writing but the writing these children did produce was fantastic and they could do it unassisted.
We also did a Titanic topic alongside this and the children were able to use what they had learned to inform the drama scenes they were creating. The four lessons was a perfect amount too.
Overall I was delighted with how much of a success this pilot was and I would definitely do another Drama Literacy with my class." Meghan Hart, Rochsolloch PS
"These lessons were fantastic, my P6/7 class engaged so well in the writing process and were producing excellent pieces of work.
It brought the writing process to life, and was meaningful with an engaging topic. Watching the videos really allowed everyone to gather ideas equally before practicing and performing their drama.
I loved that everyone could contribute with the clear differentiation I could provide!
I have recommended this scheme of work to anyone that will listen.
Thank you again for this excellent opportunity." Nicolle Murray, Rochsolloch PS
