GCSE Drama Support Handbook is a very useful guide for teachers and students embarking on the AQA, Edexcel or OCR GCSE in Drama. For the students it includes easy-to-follow explanations of how the exam is structured and all that they are required to do. There are photocopiable templates to help guide them when completing written coursework such as preparation and evaluation assignments as well as guidelines for other material that may usefully be included in portfolios. For the teacher there are stimulating coursework exemplars that are carefully written to fulfil each board’s attainment objectives. These may be completed with the minimum of resources and all include suggestions for further development. Where relevant the handbook also includes sample examination papers that will give the students a good idea of what to expect or may serve as ‘mock’ exam papers. Where there is any reference to specific plays the handbook also includes the texts of the extracts from the relevant play scripts.
