His Dark Materials Scheme of Work

Cutting through to New Worlds: using Drama to develop ananalytical approach to the play, His Dark Materials

IntroductionTeaching and learning in this guideThe activities and approaches outlined below show how, through drama, students come to a greaterunderstanding of the textual features and dramatic structures in His Dark Materials. They explore thewriting process, style and writer’s technique as well as the thematic, content-based issues and ideas.Students develop their analytical skills as well as the capacity to apply this critical thinking to othertexts, ideas or issues.

The active nature of the activities, and the critical thinking developed, demand that studentsexplore and respond to the plays both in relation to their staging and performance, as well as inrelation to the original Pullman novels from which they have been adapted. Exploring and analysingthe adaptation process allows students to examine the decisions, techniques and imagination requiredto move them from prose to script and from page to stage.

In the same way that pupils learn to analyse media productions through the creation of their ownmedia products, their analysis of scripts and performances is developed through the use of roleand drama conventions. Creating, developing and sustaining roles, and the practical explorationof how gesture, sound, language, direction and structure affect the audience’s understanding,encourage pupils to read for meaning. They come to see scripts not as written texts but as plansfor performance where actors, directors and performance elements have an effect on meaning.

NATE Drama Packs introduction

Activities and approachesThe activities comprising the scheme of work described here are included at the back of the studentbook. It is intended that, rather than working independently, students will collaborate in pairs andgroups throughout under the guidance of the teacher. It is important that students are aware of theirown learning process and understand the aims and objectives of each session. The student bookaddresses the students directly. Each activity begins by listing the learning outcomes so that thestudents are conscious of the skills they are trying to develop and can see the ‘bigger picture’. Theteacher should share and discuss this with them and refer to it throughout the work. Each activityconcludes with questions to encourage the students to evaluate their own learning and appraise thedevelopment of their skills. Teachers can choose to approach these questions through classdiscussion, pair or group work or written responses, as appropriate. Recording the teacher’s andstudents’ thinking will help to inform the work and written responses as they develop.

Helping pupils see the ‘bigger picture’As teachers, we are acutely aware of where we are leading pupils and the intended end result ofour teaching, but how often do we convey these intentions to our pupils? This understanding ofthe ‘bigger picture’ is important for all pupils… It is helpful to be able to see the ‘bigger picture’into which their current learning fits and to be able to locate the current lesson in the scheme ofwork.

Pedagogy and Practice: Teaching and Learning in Secondary Schools,Unit 4 Lesson design for inclusion (DfES, 2004)

Teaching and learning commentaryThe various approaches to texts, from the use of drama conventions to the more formal essay writing,should complement each other so that the students (and the teacher) can make clear links betweenthem. The practical work leads to a more detailed analysis and understanding of the play and theadaptation process. The written work is very much informed by the earlier practical work and analysis.The ‘Role of Northern Lights’, described in Activity 3, can be used throughout the work to record studentideas and teacher/student thinking and responses. This provides a useful prompt and recap tool at thebeginning of a session as well as providing a valuable resource for written responses to the text.

PlanningThe planned scheme of work offered here provides a structure which enables students to build theirlearning and understanding. Using activities or conventions in isolation would not allow for the in-depthapproach to learning that is required. A structured and layered approach, which is carefully planned bythe teacher and understood by the pupils, is needed therefore to ensure progression and thedevelopment of high-level skills. Time, space, resources and equipment will need to be well managed.

When teachers and students become confident with the approach, more detailed planning takesplace where additional scenes, themes and techniques are explored in a similar way. The students arethen able to become more independent in their own learning and, as described at the end of thescheme of work, can plan their own approach to the text, selecting their own scenes and identifyingthe learning outcomes that are required. The scheme of work should therefore be seen as a structuredframework, which pupils can add to, adapt and develop. Although the approaches are related tospecific scenes and aspects of the play, the conventions and techniques can clearly be used in relationto other aspects of the play and/or other texts.

Preparing for performanceFrom the initial planning to the final staging and performance of the play, the activities described canbecome an important part of the performance process. Observing actors in the group activities willoften provide more information about their potential as performers and their understanding ofcharacter, techniques and approach than a formal audition.

Using the scheme of work as part of the process from rehearsal and development through toperformance:• develops understanding of drama conventions and staging• enables detailed analysis of the ways in which action, character, atmosphere and tension are

conveyed.

LORD ASRIEL There are as many worlds as there arepossibilities. I toss a coin. It comes downheads. But in another world, it comes downtails. Every time that a choice is made, or a chance is missed, or a fork in a road istaken … a world is born for each of the other things that might have happened. And in those worlds they do. Somewhere out there, in one of those worlds, is the origin of all the death, the sin, the misery, the destructiveness in the world. I’m going to destroy it.

SERAFINA All across the North, raggedy doors andwindows have opened that were never there before. Dust is falling through theminto a void, an absence, and so it will go on,worse and worse, till nothing is left, not abreath, not a gasp, unless the child of theprophecy, true to her secret name, brings not the defeat of Dust, not the loss of theloveliest gift of the stars, but its joyful return.That’s why we must guard and protect her,till the prophecy has run its course.

Then suddenly there was the boat.It was an ancient rowing boat, battered, patched, rotting, and the figure rowing it

was aged beyond age, huddled in a robe of sacking bound with string, crippled andbent, his bony hands crooked permanently around the oar-handles, and his moistpale eyes sunk deep among folds and wrinkles of grey skin.

He let go of an oar and reached his crooked hand up to the iron ring set in thepost at the corner of the jetty. With the other hand he moved the oar to bring theboat right up against the planks.

There was no need to speak. Will got in first, and then Lyra came forward to stepdown too.

But the boatman held up his hand.‘Not him,’ he said, in a harsh whisper.‘Not who?’‘Not him.’He extended a yellow-grey finger, pointing directly at Pantalaimon, whose red-

brown stoat-form immediately became ermine-white.‘But he is me!’ Lyra said.‘If you come, he must stay.’‘But we can’t! We’d die!’‘Isn’t that what you want?’And then for the first time Lyra truly realized what she was doing. This was the real

consequence. She stood aghast, trembling, and clutched her dear daemon so tightlythat he whimpered in pain.

‘They…’ said Lyra helplessly, then stopped: it wasn’t fair to point out that the otherthree didn’t have to give anything up.

Will was watching her anxiously. She looked all around, at the lake, at the jetty, atthe rough path, the stagnant puddles, the dead and sodden bushes … Her Pan,alone here: how could he live without her? He was shaking inside her shirt, againsther bare flesh, his fur needing her warmth. Impossible! Never!

‘He must stay here if you are to come,’ the boatman said again.The Lady Salmakia flicked the rein, and her dragonfly skimmed away from Lyra’s

shoulder to land on the gunwale of the boat, where Tialys joined her. They saidsomething to the boatman. Lyra watched as a condemned prisoner watches the stirat the back of the courtroom that might be a messenger with a pardon.

The boatman bent to listen, and then shook his head.‘No,’ he said. ‘If she comes, he has to stay.’

Activity 7: From personal to universal –exploring the adaptation processHis Dark Materials Scheme of Work

Extract from The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman

(Chapter 21 ‘The Harpies’ pages 294–300)

Will said, ‘That’s not right. We don’t have to leave part of ourselves behind. Whyshould Lyra?’

‘Oh, but you do,’ said the boatman. ‘It’s her misfortune that she can see and talkto the part she must leave. You will not know until you are on the water, and then itwill be too late. But you all have to leave that part of yourselves here. There is nopassage to the land of the dead for such as him.’

No, Lyra thought, and Pantalaimon thought with her. We didn’t go throughBolvangar for this, no; how will we ever find each other again?

And she looked back again at the foul and dismal shore, so bleak and blasted withdisease and poison, and thought of her dear Pan waiting there alone, her heart’scompanion, watching her disappear into the mist, and she fell into a storm of weeping. Her passionate sobs didn’t echo, because the mist muffled them, but allalong the shore in innumerable ponds and shallows, in wretched broken treestumps, the damaged creatures that lurked there heard her full-hearted cry and drewthemselves a little closer to the ground, afraid of such passion.

‘If he could come –’ cried Will, desperate to end her grief, but the boatman shookhis head.

‘He can come in the boat, but if he does, the boat stays here,’ he said.‘But how will she find him again?’‘I don’t know.’‘When we leave, will we come back this way?’‘Leave?’‘We’re going to come back. We’re going to the land of the dead and we are going

to come back.’‘Not this way.’‘Then some other way, but we will!’‘I have taken millions, and none came back.’‘Then we shall be the first. We’ll find our way out. And since we’re going to do

that, be kind, boatman, be compassionate, let her take her daemon!’‘No,’ he said and shook his ancient head. ‘It’s not a rule you can break. It’s a law

like this one…’ He leant over the side and cupped a handful of water, and then tiltedhis hand so it ran out again. ‘The law that makes the water fall back into the lake, it’sa law like that. I can’t tilt my hand and make the water fly upwards. No more can Itake her daemon to the land of the dead. Whether or not she comes, he must stay.’

Lyra could see nothing: her face was buried in Pantalaimon’s cat-fur. But Will sawTialys dismount from his dragonfly and prepare to spring at the boatman, and hehalf-agreed with the spy’s intention: but the old man had seen him, and turned hisancient head to say:

‘How many ages do you think I’ve been ferrying people to the land of the dead?D’you think if anything could hurt me, it wouldn’t have happened already? D’youthink the people I take come with me gladly? They struggle and cry, they try to bribe

me, they threaten and fight; nothing works. You can’t hurt me, sting as you will.Better comfort the child; she’s coming; take no notice of me.’

Will could hardly watch. Lyra was doing the cruellest thing she had ever done, hating herself, hating the deed, suffering for Pan and with Pan and because of Pan;trying to put him down on the cold path, disengaging his cat-claws from her clothes,weeping, weeping. Will closed his ears: the sound was too unhappy to bear. Timeafter time she pushed her daemon away, and still he cried and tried to cling.

She could turn back.She could say no, this is a bad idea, we mustn’t do it.She could be true to the heart-deep, life-deep bond linking her to Pantalaimon,

she could put that first, she could push the rest out of her mind –But she couldn’t.‘Pan, no one’s done this before,’ she whispered shiveringly, ‘but Will says we’re

coming back and I swear, Pan, I love you, I swear we’re coming back – I will – takecare, my dear – you’ll be safe – we will come back, and if I have to spend everyminute of my life finding you again I will, I won’t stop, I won’t rest, I won’t – oh Pan– dear Pan – I’ve got to, I’ve got to…’

And she pushed him away, so that he crouched bitter and cold and frightened onthe muddy ground.

What animal he was now, Will could hardly tell. He seemed to be so young, a cub, apuppy, something helpless and beaten, a creature so sunk in misery that it was moremisery than creature. His eyes never left Lyra’s face, and Will could see her making herself not look away, not avoid the guilt, and he admired her honesty and her courageat the same time as he was wrenched with the shock of their parting. There were somany vivid currents of feeling between them that the very air felt electric to him.

And Pantalaimon didn’t say, ‘Why?’, because he knew; and he didn’t ask whetherLyra loved Roger more than him, because he knew the true answer to that, too. Andhe knew that if he spoke, she wouldn’t be able to resist; so the daemon held himselfquiet so as not to distress the human who was abandoning him, and now they wereboth pretending that it wouldn’t hurt, it wouldn’t be long before they were togetheragain, it was all for the best. But Will knew that the little girl was tearing her heartout of her breast.

Then she stepped down into the boat. She was so light that it barely rocked at all.She sat beside Will, and her eyes never left Pantalaimon, who stood trembling at theshore end of the jetty; but as the boatman let go of the iron ring and swung his oarsout to pull the boat away, the little dog-daemon trotted helplessly out to the veryend, his claws clicking softly on the soft planks, and stood watching, just watching,as the boat drew away and the jetty faded and vanished in the mist.

Then Lyra gave a cry so passionate that even in the muffled mist-hung world itraised an echo, but of course it wasn’t an echo, it was the other part of her crying inturn from the land of the living as Lyra moved away into the land of the dead.

‘My heart, Will…’ she groaned, and clung to him, her wet face contorted with pain.And thus the prophecy that the Master of Jordan College had made to the

Librarian, that Lyra would make a great betrayal and it would hurt her terribly, wasfulfilled.

But Will too found an agony building inside him, and through the pain he saw thatthe two Gallivespians, clinging together just as he and Lyra were doing, were movedby the same anguish.

Part of it was physical. It felt as if an iron hand had gripped his heart and waspulling it out between his ribs, so that he pressed his hands to the place and vainlytried to hold it in. It was far deeper and far worse than the pain of losing his fingers.But it was mental, too: something secret and private was being dragged into theopen where it had no wish to be, and Will was nearly overcome by a mixture of painand shame and fear and self-reproach, because he himself had caused it.

And it was worse than that. It was as if he’d said, ‘No, don’t kill me, I’m frightened;kill my mother instead; she doesn’t matter, I don’t love her,’ and as if she’d heardhim say it, and pretended she hadn’t so as to spare his feelings, and offered herselfin his place anyway because of her love for him. He felt as bad as that. There wasnothing worse to feel.

So Will knew that all those things were part of having a daemon, and that whateverhis daemon was, she too was left behind, with Pantalaimon, on that poisoned anddesolate shore. The thought came to Will and Lyra at the same moment, and theyexchanged a tear-filled glance. And for the second time in their lives, but not the last,each of them saw their own expression on the other’s face.

Action Narration a convention which requires each participant to pause and verbalise motives and descriptions ofactions before they undertake them in improvisation

Action Reading students, in role, walk through a scene, speaking lines and adding gestures and movements, whilereading from scripts

Communal Voice individual members of the group take up positions, one at a time, behind a sculpted character andspeak the words that character says at a chosen moment in the drama; individual voices can speak more than once; adialogue can be staged in this way with sculpted characters facing each other while their ‘voices’ take positions behindeach of them and speak only the utterances of that character; the teacher may speak in role as one of the characters tointroduce a new element or information or play devil’s advocate

Digital Video Clip a short, repeatable dramatic sequence is ‘bookended’ with a Still Image at the start and a StillImage at the end

Describe/Name the Space participants are invited to offer words to describe a physical (or metaphorical) spacebetween two characters at a moment of tension in the drama; the same technique can be used to describe barriersthat exist between character or situations

Guided Tour in pairs, A (with eyes open) leads B (with eyes closed) slowly through an imaginary environment,providing a spoken commentary; the environment or location may be based on text but will usually be stimulated by aprinted or projected map or picture, roles can be reversed to enable parity of experience

Placing the Author in order to help students to appreciate an author’s perspective, a student or teacher representsthe presence, at a defined moment in the drama, of the author; supposedly unseen by the actors (frozen at asignificant moment), the author is sculpted into the scene by individual students who justify the positioning bydrawing on evidence from the text; the act of placing the author is carried out as many times as demonstrates therange of possible author perspectives at any one moment in the drama

Placing the Audience/Reader a similar process to Placing the Author but here a student or teacher represents thepresence and/or perspective of the audience or reader at a defined moment in the drama

Rolling Theatre a means by which groups can share their work on different aspects of a drama, learning from eachother by running several rehearsed sections in a sequence; the theatrical integrity of the sequence will be the result ofeach group taking total responsibility for the start and finish of their section, independent of the need for teacherintervention; this may be achieved through the use of strong Still Images at the beginning and end of the Digital VideoClips signally the contribution of the next group in a pre-arranged theatrical sequence

Role on the Wall this convention is used to help students define character traits at defined moments in a drama;sticky notes or cards with written statements or words are positioned on a large outline of a particular characterusually pinned on a wall or laid on the floor; students may write their own words or statements or the teacher maywrite them. It is important that if students have contributed a word, they are given the card or sticky note to placewhere they think appropriate on the outline (near the head or the heart for example); such a developing image withwords can act as a useful visual stimulus at the beginning or end of discrete sessions

Sculpting participants offer suggestions to place an individual in a significant, frozen position so that consideredanalysis can be made

Still Image/Still Picture/Freeze-Frame a Still Image is created by participants in the drama standing motionless,often at a given sign by the teacher or as a result of being sculpted by other students into the frozen image. Thisconvention is used to mark a significant moment or enable time for reflection
