Azimio la Kazi — Sanaa za Maonyesho, Kidato cha Pili. TIE-aligned, ready to download and personalise for your school year.
This Form Two Theatre Arts scheme of work follows the competency-based planning format set out by the Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE). It moves from the history of theatre in Africa and selected world traditions, through the theory and principles of vichekesho and ngonjera, to performing for different audiences and using ICT to produce simple film, television and radio drama. It is a starting point: add your school name and term dates, and adjust pacing for holidays and school events before submitting it to your head of department.
Every row of the scheme is one planned teaching week and carries the same eleven columns: Main Competence, Specific Competence, Learning Activities, Specific Activities, Month, Week, Periods, Reference, Teaching and Learning Methods, Teaching and Learning Resources, Assessment Tools and Remarks. The Remarks column is used for examination dates and school breaks.
Theatre Arts is planned at two periods per teaching week. Across the year the scheme runs to roughly 60 periods, with revision weeks placed before the mid-term, terminal and national examination periods, and weeks left free for school breaks.
Methods are practical and performance-led: demonstration, field practices, guest speakers, apprenticeship, hands-on work and project work. Resources include videos of theatre history and performances, costumes, props, drums, make-up and ICT devices for recording and editing. Assessment combines quizzes, tests, portfolios, flashcards, project work and field activities.
Below is a short extract in the official column format. The full download follows the same layout week by week across the year, including mid-term and terminal examinations and school holidays.
