About the Resource

This PowerPoint contains 88 slides and teaches, through practical exercises, the Explorative Strategies of: Hot Seating, Forum Theatre, Role Play, Still Image, Marking the Moment, Thought Tracking, Cross Cutting and Narrating. The PowerPoint is full of animations which take students through a scenario, exploring the characters and situations using the strategies. The PowerPoint runs automatically for many of the slides, almost becoming a second teacher, but pauses when teacher input is necessary. This is a scheme of work which will suit all teachers, whether experienced, NQT or on Teaching Practice. Fully editable – but you’ll love it as it is.

Here's a short video of the first few slides of the PowerPoint.
