"Children were able to apply what they had learned in class to the drama pack. It flowed nicely with the IDL topic. Children were very creative and really enjoyed it, they looked forward to it every week.
As a teacher the lesson plans are very detailed and have the music alongside it. This is great as it means that it cuts my workload down a little as I don’t need to plan this. They are very useful and are very easy to use." Amanda Carmichael , Canal View PS, Edinburgh
This lesson is a good follow-on from Viking Trading Mission and opens when the Viking travellers return to their homesteads from their travels abroad. It considers the great value placed on the trading missions and also looks at how the Viking viewed crime. Key Drama skills in this lesson are mime, improvisation, ritual, planning and problem-solving. Dramatic tension is also a key feature. Students will learn how the close-knit community placed a high value on loyalty and the penalty for disobedience.
