• A dramatist should start with characters. The characters must be full, rich, interesting, and different enough
from each other so that in one way or another they conflict. From this conflict comes the story
• Put the characters into dramatic situations with strongly plotted conclusions
• The plot should be able to tell what happens and why
• The beginning, should tell the audience or reader what took place before the story leads into the present
action. The middle carries the action forward, amid trouble and complications. In the end, the conflict is
resolved, and the story comes to a satisfactory, but not necessarily a happy conclusion.
• It should be filled with characters whom real people admire and envy. The plots must be filled with action. It
should penetrate both the heart and mind and shows man as he is, in all his misery and glory

What is Drama?
Drama is a unique tool to explore and express human feeling.
In this site we are investigating the benefits Drama can have on child
development when applied functionally within a primary classroom. Drama has the
potential, as a diverse medium, to enhance cognitive, affective and motor
development.
A high degree of thinking, feeling and moving is involved and subsequently aids in
the development of skills for all other learning within and outside of schools
(transfer of learning).
Drama is a discrete skill in itself (acting, theatre, refined skill), and therefore it
is offered as a 'subject' in secondary school. However Drama is also a tool which
is flexible, versatile and applicable among all areas of the curriculum. Through its
application as a tool in the primary classroom, Drama can be experienced by all
children.
'the enactment of real and imagined events through role-play, play making and
performances, enabling individuals and groups to explore, shape and represent
ideas, feelings and their consequences in symbolic or dramatic form.'
Types of Drama

explanation of each:
A scene is set, either by the teacher or the children, and then with little or no
time to prepare a script the students perform before the class.
Role Plays
Students are given a particular role in a scripted play. After rehearsal the play is
performed for the class, school or parents.
Mime
Children use only facial expressions and body language to pass on a message tcript
to the rest of the class.
Masked Drama
The main props are masks. Children then feel less inhibited to perform and
overact while participating in this form of drama.
Children are given specific parts to play with a formal script. Using only their
voices they must create the full picture for the rest of the class. Interpreting
content and expressing it using only the voice.
Puppet Plays

or do themselves.
