This Features of a Playscript KS2 lesson introduces your class to the different elements that make up a playscript and help actors perform it on stage. Children will explore features such as character names, dialogue, stage directions and scene descriptions, learning how these help to organise the script clearly and show performers how the play should be acted out.

 


Lesson 1: Features of a Playscript

Through the course of the lesson, your children will explore all the key features of a playscript, including scene titles and descriptions, characters, props, dialogue and stage directions. In their independent activities, your class will show their understanding of these features by identifying them in a given playscript extract. They then have the opportunity to act out the scene! In the alternative activity provided, in pairs, children will convert a short given narrative into a playscript, using all of the features that they have just learned about.

Everything you need is included within this Features of a Playscript KS2 English lesson pack - a detailed plan, an engaging set of PDF slides for the teaching input, differentiated activity ideas and printable resources.
