    Every lesson, students will focus on a different element of drama. We will begin with some warm-up activities to focus everyone’s mind on the skill at hand, then have a short discussion about the relevance of the skill, then go through some activities that help us hone that skill. Each lesson will end with a 30-40 section where students create a piece, focusing on the skill they’ve been learning as well as practising storyboarding, theme, set design and prop work. Each group then performs the piece they have created at the end of each day.
