Overview
Students explore and explain how dramatic action and meaning are communicated through drama they view, create and perform. They consider how drama and media artworks from different times, places and culture influence their own and others’ drama and media artworks.

Students collaborate to create and perform a documentary that employs both drama and media elements, dramatic action and meaning in a specific and purposeful context. They develop a script, produce media materials, and reflect on and evaluate the meaning and influences on both their own and others’ documentaries.
