What should be included within the portfolio?

The portfolio should evidence:

• Initial research and ideas
• Development of the devised performance
• Evaluation of the final performance

Learners should demonstrate their decision-making and creative process throughout. 

There is a detailed section in the specification with guidance and exemplars on Teach Cambridge.  This is explained initially on page 6 of the specification: Learners will complete a portfolio of evidence during the devising process, a final performance of their drama and write an evaluation of their own work… After the performance learners will write an evaluation of their own performance.  

Further advice on this is on page 20: Section 1 – research and initial ideas. Section 2 – creating and developing drama including analysing and evaluating the work in progress. Section 3 – an evaluation of their final piece of devised drama.
