As a part of their Close Study of Drama unit this term, Year 8 English students have been given a taste of Drama and performance through their usual English lessons.
This term, classes have been exploring literature and storytelling through Drama-based activities, making lessons more interactive, dynamic, and memorable. One of the highlights has been our tableau exercises, where students work in groups to create still images representing key moments from a novel or play. This has encouraged them to think critically about symbolism, body language, and how emotions are conveyed beyond words.
Additionally, reader’s theatre and monologue performances have provided a fantastic platform for students to refine their expression and interpret literary works with greater depth.
