Okay basically this is the course:
Unit 1 (sept - xmas) : - You study two plays practically, learning about loads of different aspects of them. You then write up everything as your Exploration Notes (coursework) which is a
3,000 word essay. We had to write that over Christmas and omg it killed me and its such a drag aha but once it's done it's done! You get marked on practical work in class and your exploration notes.
- You go to see a theatre performance and have to write a
1,000 word review on it. (coursework). These are quite fun to do, don't worry
You get a mark for that.
Unit 2 (jan - may): Section A: You choose a monologue (2mins) or duologue (5mins) and work on that.
You also have to write up a
500 word Written Performance Concept which is just basically your interpretation of your character and what you did to rehearse etc (not too hard)
Section B: Your teacher puts you in groups of 3 to I think 8, and gives you a play. You work on that.
You then perform in front of an examiner your mono/duologue and your play (mine is 6th may ahh!)
Your WPC is marked by an examiner but the rest of the written work is marked by your teacher.
Hope this is useful!!!
