  This high-quality, practical educational resource provides structured, comprehensive lesson plans for Grade 10 Theatre and Film under the Senior School Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). Covering 40 distinct lessons across 9 academic weeks (including Week 7 for the scheduled mid-term break), this resource equips teachers with complete theoretical and production guidelines spanning stage design, theatrical adjudication, and community outreach drama.

  The lesson plans are aligned with the Grade 10 Theatre & Film Coursebook, stage design equipment, lighting instruments, sound gear, sample drama festival adjudication sheets, and community venue scouting protocols.

  The resource is structured around two key strands and comprehensive substrands:

  • 2.0 Production
    • 2.3 Theatre Design: Components of theatre design (costumes, make-up, props, set scenery); scouting performance spaces and drafting architectural stage floor plans; constructing functional sets, backdrops, and props using repurposed local materials; character costume selection and improvisation; theatrical make-up techniques (straight make-up and aging contouring); stage lighting methods (spotlight, floodlight, backlight, sidelight) and electrical cable safety; audio production equipment (microphones, audio mixers, PA speakers, signal routing); Foley and digital sound effect design; technical cue synchronization; conducting technical rehearsals (tech runs) and full dress rehearsals; staging live plays and spoken word poetry performances before an audience; and writing post-performance reflective logbooks.
  • 3.0 Theatre, Film & Society
    • 3.1 Theatre Adjudication: Purpose and ethics of objective adjudication; criteria for adjudicating scripted stage plays (script, acting, vocal projection, stage movement, technical design); developing weighted play adjudication criteria sheets; criteria for adjudicating spoken word poetry (persona, rhythm, wordplay, audience connection); formulating poetry scoring rubrics; adjudicating recorded and live performances; drafting formal written adjudication reports with actionable recommendations; oral adjudication presentations using diplomatic feedback models; and personal assessment portfolio management.
    • 3.2 Theatre and Community: The societal role of theatre in education, health awareness, and advocacy; Theatre for Development (TfD) methodology; identifying local community road safety issues (speeding, jaywalking, distracted driving); school theatre and film club governance (constitutions, elections, activity planning, and financial resource mobilization); scouting open outdoor "found spaces"; drafting community play story outlines; conducting rehearsals for outdoor thrust/arena staging; crowd mobilization and ushering safety; staging interactive community road safety performances; conducting post-performance audience discussions and surveys; compiling technical project reports; and end-of-term portfolio archiving.

  Across the term, the lesson plans guide secondary learners through essential artistic and technical outcomes, including:

  • Measuring staging spaces and sketching scaled stage floor plans with standard theatrical symbols.
  • Repurposing recyclable cardboard, fabric, and paints into stable stage flats, backdrops, and handheld props.
  • Setting up and focusing stage lighting instruments to eliminate actor facial shadows while observing electrical safety rules.
  • Operating 4-channel audio mixers, adjusting microphone gain, and triggering synchronized sound effects on script cues.
  • Designing weighted adjudication scoring rubrics and drafting official adjudication reports.
  • Delivering diplomatic, constructive verbal critiques using the "commend-recommend-commend" feedback technique.
  • Staging an interactive, open-air community road safety play and collecting structured audience feedback.

  Every individual lesson plan is laid out with an Introduction, a four-step Lesson Development sequence, Conclusion, Extended Practice Activities, and a Teacher Self-Evaluation section.

  This downloadable PDF and MS Word package offers an essential, syllabus-compliant guide for secondary school teachers delivering Grade 10 Theatre and Film.
