Course
Descriptions:
6th Grade Drama
This course is a 6 week
exploratory course. Students will learn basic theatre vocabulary,
and skills in movement and vocalization.
7th Grade
Drama
A One Semester Class in which students will build on skills
learned in 6th grade. This is a beginning class and 6th grade drama
is not required. Emphasis will be on ensemble building
through improvisation and movement games. Students will continue to
work on vocalization and will be introduced to musical theatre,
including songs and dance. One evening performance is part of class
grade.
8th/9th Grade
Drama
A One Semester class in which students will continue to develop
acting skills. This is a beginning class and earlier drama classes
are not required. Movement and pantomime will be expanded
upon. Improvisational games will strengthen ensemble work. Students
will develop vocal skills in different styles of acting. Since
students are able to take drama for a full year in both
8thand
9thgrades, those who take drama
continuously will learn a broader scope of skills and gain more
experience acting. Students will attend a professional play during
the semester to gain an understanding of skills they are working on
in class (see details under “Events”). One evening
performance is part of the class grade.
9th graders may take Intermediate Drama if they have taken drama in 8th grade.
This
course fulfills an ARTS credit toward graduation for 9th
graders.

Film
A one semester class for 8thand
9thGraders in which students will
learn to act for thecamera. It is not necessary to take Drama
Classes prior to Acting for Film Classes. Basic film acting skills
will be taught and students will film each other in the acting
process. Be mindful that this is primarily an acting class - not a
production class. 2 film projects
