Original PromptCreate a worksheet that asks year 10 drama students to list potential props that could be used for their character in their alice in wonderland play. Then ask students to pick 2 props for their character and then sketch them and provide a lable for the materials and colours used.
This resource is designed to guide students in synthesizing character traits to create and justify two thematic props that enhance characterization in theatrical performances. It begins with identifying a character and their associated play, followed by brainstorming potential props that reflect their personality, social status, or narrative function. The resource emphasizes the connection between physical objects and the internal traits of characters, encouraging students to draw links from concrete items to abstract character qualities. Students are then tasked with selecting their top two props and justifying how these choices communicate character traits to an audience. This includes visualizing and designing the props, along with considering variations for different production contexts or genres, fostering deep engagement with the characters and their development on stage.
