GCSE Drama

Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.

Drama makes heavy literacy demands: close reading of a set text and unseen extracts, typed extended answers in a 2 hour on-screen examination, a written Reflective Log, precise drama terminology and sustained spoken performance of scripts. Numeracy is light and practical, mainly timing pieces to set lengths and working to scale on ground plans and model sets for designers. The single biggest thing Key Stage 3 should build is the ability to analyse how actors, designers and directors create meaning, and to write about it using accurate drama terminology.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Siarad cydweithredol

  1. Performing a role with vocal control

    Asesu: Mewn gwaith cwrs (asesiad di-arholiad)

    Actors must communicate their interpretation of character and sustain audience engagement in a devised piece and a scripted extract, each interacting for at least five minutes. Vocal skills such as pitch, pace and pause are central.

    Paratoi disgyblion

    Blwyddyn 7
    Pupils perform a short monologue, varying pitch, pace and pause, and the audience identifies which vocal skill changed the meaning.
    Blwyddyn 8

Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill

Script reading and analytical writing overlap strongly with English, so agreeing a shared paragraph structure with the English department will help pupils.
