The Grade 10 Dramatic Arts course requires students to explore dramatic forms and techniques, using their own ideas and concerns as well as ideas in sources selected from a wide range of genres, texts (used in the broadest sense), forms and cultures. Student learning includes the identification and use of the elements of time, place, role/character, dramatic situation/tension, and structure in creating, sustaining and communicating authentic drama. Students assume responsibility for decisions made in the creation and presentation of the drama, and analyse and reflect on the experience. Drama involves numerous complex collaboration skills, including problem-solving, creating, negotiating, communicating, consensus-building, supporting, presenting, and reflecting. By entering an imagined world, students learn new and unique ways to view themselves and their world. Their learning enhances their ability to listen, question, interpret, create, communicate, and reflect. The universals of human experience are explored in a safe, creative, reflective environment.
Expectations are organized into three strands: Theory, Creation, and Analysis. All units and activities draw upon all three strands in an integrated approach. Suggested assessment practices follow the directions of the Ministry of Education as published in The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 9 and 10, Program Planning and Assessment.
