Commedia dell’arte

This scheme of work has been written during lockdown, and has been taught as home learning lessons with students completing all tasks and activities remotely. The section on home learning encourages students to prepare work for the lesson and realise their ideas through the practical work in the teaching space. Equally, the home learning sections could become extra lessons in the classroom and you could pick and choose what you wanted to include or discard.
