Welcome to

Preparation
This course requires
students to create and perform in dramatic presentations. Students will
analyse, interpret, and perform dramatic words from various cultures and time
periods. Students will research various acting styles and conventions that
could be used in their presentations, and analyse the functions of playwrights,
directors, actors, designers, technicians, and
audiences.

As you know, attending class
is a vital component of any course. Because drama is an ensemble activity, your
attendance affects everyone in the class. It is your responsibility to let me
(and any group members you might have) know in advance of any plans you have to
be away. Because we are operating as a split class with the Gr. 12's, you must
be particularly vigilant about how you use your time. Always have a pen or
pencil or your laptop with you, as there is a significant amount of writing to
be done in this course.
Class rules are simple: show
respect for yourself, the class and for the room.
Remember to have your parent/guardian
sign the information letter dated January 29, 2013and bring it back a.s.a.p.!
Assignment #1:
Using mime,
tableau, dialogue and asides, your group will create and present a five minute
scene that illustrates how to be successful in a drama class.
The purpose of this assignment is to show me that you
know and understand these basic elements of drama that you learned in Gr. 9 or
10, that you know and understand what 'respect' looks like and sounds like in
our class context, and that you know and understand how to work in a group and
meet a deadline.
