Features of a Playscript KS2

Familiarise your class with the features of a playscript, including scene titles and descriptions, characters, props, dialogue and stage directions.

Teach your Year 3 or Year 4 class all about the features of a playscript with this handy standalone lesson for KS2.

 

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.
