Film and Television 11 and 12 has an additional organizer:
Exploration
Drama provides students with a framework with which they can explore
and evaluate the artistic components of the dramatic process. Drama
provides students with opportunities to examine their own thoughts,
feelings, beliefs, and actions and those of others through
imagination, interaction, and reflection. Students develop trust in
themselves and others. This enables them to take risks, express
themselves, and evaluate and analyse their own contributions and
those of others.
Drama Skills
Drama offers students opportunities to develop diverse dramatic
skills to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world. As
they develop these skills, students gain the competence and
confidence to assume roles, interact with others in role, and arrange
playing spaces for dramatic work.
Context
Drama reflects and affects the aesthetic, cultural, historical, and
global contexts in which it exists. In drama education, students
explore and interpret how drama celebrates, comments on, and
questions the values, issues, and events of societies past and
present. They acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enhance
their understanding of how drama and other art forms contribute to
their personal, educational, and career development.
