Students learned all about the "Elements of Drama" today, via a PowerPoint. The elements of drama include things like the Aristotle's 3 Unities, dramatic irony, soliloquy, and others.

We had a quiz on the elements of drama at the end of class.

Students also went on a class trip to the computer lab to take a survey on safe and drug-free schools.

Here's the week's schedule:
Monday- Discussion of the “Elements of Drama”, which include things like Aristotle’s 3 Unities, dramatic irony, and soliloquy; students will have a quiz on these different elements; students will also go to our computer lab take a survey on Safe and Drug Free schools
Tuesday- We will examine different “Types of Drama”, such as comedy or tragedy; students will have a quiz on the different types of drama; we will also being reading I Never Sang for My Father, a play in our literature textbook
Wednesday- Students will take a benchmark exam to assess their academic progress; we will finish our reading of I Never Sang for My Father
Thursday- Students will read a scene from a movie script and answer questions; we will then watch the scene of that movie and students will answer further questions. It’s meant to get them thinking about how works can be adapted to different media and how dramatic works are enhanced by their performance element.
Friday- Guided reading of E.A. Poe’s “Masque of the Red Death.” As students read, they will enter answers into our remote controlled Classroom Performance System.
