This is ADA 4M: University/College Prep
Drama. This course requires students to experiment individually and
collaboratively with forms and conventions of both drama and theatre from
various cultures and time periods. Students will interpret dramatic literature
and other texts and media sources while learning about various theories of
directing and acting. Students will examine the significance of dramatic arts
in various cultures and will analyse how the knowledge and skills deeveloped in
drama are related to their personal skills, social awareness, and goals beyond
secondary school. http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/secondary/arts1112curr.pdf
Prerequisite: ADA 3M (Grade 11 University/College Prep Drama)
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. 11'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.
Please have your parent/guardian sign the letter dated January 29, 2013 and return it as soon as possible.
Assignment #1:
Using mime, tableau, dialogue and asides, your group will create and present a five minute skit that illustrates the class rules for drama.
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.
