INTRODUCTION TO DRAMA 8 TO 10

The development of this Integrated Resource Package has been guided by the principles of learning:

Learning requires the active participation of the student.
People learn in a variety of ways and at different rates.
Learning is both an individual and a group process.

All four of the fine arts (visual arts, dance, drama, and music) are required areas of study through Grade 6. In Grades 7 to 10, students are required to choose one or more of the four fine arts areas of study at each grade level.

Drama courses offered to satisfy the fine arts requirement at grades 8, 9 and 10 will be labelled as:

Drama 8
Drama 9
Drama 10

These courses could be further designated according to the specific focus or methodology of the course (e.g., Drama 10: Acting).

Schools are encouraged to provide opportunities for students to take more than one drama course (or other fine arts course) at a given grade level. All courses must address all of the learning outcomes for their designated grade level.
