OCR GCSE Drama revision

OCR GCSE Drama revision for Year 10 and Year 11, matched to the Cambridge OCR GCSE Drama (J316) specification. Cambridge OCR GCSE Drama (J316) covers Appendix 5i — Language for Learning (11-category theatrical-terminology glossary), Component 04 — shared knowledge and skills (applies regardless of set text studied), Component 04, Section A — Set Text: Kindertransport (Diane Samuels), Component 04, Section B — Live Theatre Evaluation (AO3 10 marks + AO4 20 marks, ONE extended-response question). Short interactive activities first, then a real past paper: the activities teach it, the paper tests it.

One thing the Drama questions here are written to catch: Length is not the issue. One precise staged choice with its effect would score better than a long paragraph of feelings.
