This course prepares students for NCEA Level 3. Students will:
- Develop their knowledge of acting technique by selecting and preparing a performance from one of two critically acclaimed NZ plays
- Write their own script and have peers perform it on stage
- Research, write and devise their own piece of drama in response to a person, event or topic
- Some learners will sit a written external examination in which students demonstrate their understanding of drama within live performances they have seen
Year 13 Drama requires commitment from learners and they are required to be in class at least 90% of the time. This is to ensure they can adequately prepare for group performance assessments and keep up to date.
Students will be offered the opportunity to attend a range of performances in preparation for writing critical responses required in their external examination.
