Level 3 Drama (DRA303)

Level 3 Drama is part of a scaffolded approach to Drama (a five year journey from Year 9-13). 

Internal assessments:

Internals will be performed over the course of the year to a live audience. 

• Techniques: an assessment done in pairs that explores students' use of Voice, Body, Movement and Space to create a character and perform a scene
• Devising: students work either individually or in pairs to create their own pieces using Drama Elements, Conventions and Technologies. 
• Theatre Form: students will perform a scene that shows understanding of traditional character types and storylines, and learn how modern theatre has been influenced by the past through the study of Greek Theatre. 

External assessments:

The NCEA Drama exam is written, and students will have one paper to complete. 

• Theatre Form: demonstrate an academic understanding of Greek Theatre

Throughout the course of the year the skills that students learn will ensure they are prepared for Tertiary study but also encourage life skills such as: creativity, confidence, collaboration, time management, accountability, and conflict resolution.

This is an approved UE subject, and students are also able to gain UE Literacy Reading and Writing credits.
