Language Arts Drama

For the last couple of weeks, 7th grade students have been learning about the features and elements of drama. They have been able to identify, explain, and infer about elements of a play, and how each play has a plot line. The students are now realizing that drama consists of more than just stage plays, but movies and television shows as well.


In class, we have done a variety of activities with dramatic scripts. The students read and acted out Scene 4 from Disney's, High School Musical, an adaption of A Retrieved Reformation, and an adaption of a fairy tale Spiderella. Students completed a comparison between the original script and movie production of scenes.

                                 Seventh grade students act out a scene from the fairy tale Spiderella.

Mrs. Manning's students analyze how a character changed in a story and represent those thoughts through a symbolism body trace.

Students in Mrs. Lockard's class had fun racing to finish their notes by only getting to write while the other was trying to row a 6. Fun time paddling the work back and forth.
