Your Drama "Bible"

Alright, well let's get a few housekeeping things out of the way before we dive into the fun!
If you are going to teach drama to students, you are going to need to know what to teach them!
This is a link to the Ontario Ministry of Education's ART Curriculum. There are 4 strands; visual arts, dance, drama and music. If you are about to teach an arts class, especially a drama class, you NEED to read this! It will be of great help :)
Basically your drama lessons should do these three things:
1. Give students a chance to create and present/perform
2. Give students a chance to reflect, respond, and analyze works in various art forms
3. Give students a chance to explore forms and cultural contexts of art

^^^ This is how the drama strand categorizes the specific curriculum expectations.

Keep in mind that there is no one right way to do this! You will change and evolve with your classes but this will give you an idea of what the students need to learn, and then as an educator you get the fun job of figuring out HOW to teach them! Sound fun? Of course it does!
So let's get at it!
