AS and A level Drama changed from September 2016, bringing in a brand new A level Drama and Theatre qualification with genuinely revised criteria – and these Pearson resources were built specifically to help teachers deliver that content in a practical, engaging way while supporting students of every ability through the new exam format. Written specifically for the new Edexcel AS and A level Drama specification, they cover every single component of the qualification with a strong, deliberate focus on exam preparation: sample answers, detailed commentaries, and genuine support around analysing and evaluating for the portfolio element. A practical focus runs through everything, with worksheets, teaching notes and hands-on workshop ideas built directly around the specification’s own practical emphasis, helping students properly engage with the set texts rather than just reading about them. Clearly structured sections help students of every ability make real progress throughout the course, with dedicated extra support built in for those who need help with written work specifically. The Student Book itself focuses closely on the exam component Theatre Makers in Practice, offering thorough guidance and activities for exploring every set text, introductions to the key set practitioners and their individual methodologies, genuine support analysing and evaluating live theatre, clear guidance on unseen extracts in the exam, and a dedicated Preparing for your Exam section with sample answers and commentaries covering both AS and A level assessments. The accompanying ActiveBook is a fully online edition that students can personalise with their own annotations and notes, built specifically for independent access anywhere, at any time of day.
