In Levels 1 and 2, students continue their exploration and learning about how ideas and stories can be imagined and communicated through drama. They improvise and create roles, characters and situations and learn about focus and identifying the main idea of the drama. They share their drama with peers and experience drama as audiences.
Drama in the local community is the focus for learning. Students also draw on drama from other cultures, times and locations. As they make and respond to drama, students explore meaning and interpretation, forms and elements and social and cultural contexts of drama. They make simple evaluations of drama expressing what they enjoy and why.
Students learn about safety in dramatic play and in interaction with other actors.
By the end of Level 2, students make and present drama using the elements of role, situation and focus in dramatic play and improvisation.
Students describe what happens in drama they make, perform and view. They identify some elements in drama and describe where and why there is drama.
