MS Creative Dramatics is a semester-long related arts class for grades 6-8. During the semester, we will be discussing theatre history, studying musical and technical theatre, reading award-winning plays, and familiarizing ourselves with theater terminology and acting techniques such as pantomime and improvisation.
Classroom PRIDE expectations apply in all related arts classes.
ALL students are expected to:
Be respectful. Have respect for the space, the work, and each other.
Be prepared. Have your materials ready to use.
Be on time and ready to work.
Be an engaged learner. Engagement leads to your best work.
Be mindful. Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
Be productive. Stay on task with effort and engagement.
Be open to taking creative risks.
Be positive. A positive attitude leads to a positive learning environment.
Be okay with creative mistakes. They will happen!
Be honest. Constructive criticism is valuable- but don’t forget to be mindful!
Be aware. Ask questions when it’s appropriate. Listen to others.
Be focused. Stay on task, follow directions.
Be an active participant. Engagement and effort are key.
