- Explore devised theatre, where students will create their own, original drama around a topic or text
- Write their own scene of a script and have peers perform it
- Some learners will also sit a written external examination to demonstrate their understanding of drama within live performances they have seen
Year 12 Drama requires commitment from students to be present at least 90% of the time. This is to ensure we can complete the content of the course, as well as give time to adequately prepare with other for performance assessments.
