Drama: Telling
Welcome to our toolkit for using What's Your Story? in your Senior Phase Arts and Culture: Drama lessons. These resources are categorised into two sections: asking and listening and telling. We recommend you always begin with asking and listening to build a helpful foundation for your learners. View the content for asking and listening here.
In this section, there are four lesson plans that cover four topics. The lessons include presentations, keywords, handouts and audiovisual materials, which can be viewed and accessed directly from each lesson section, or downloaded individually from our resources page.
In addition, we have several teacher training videos that can be downloaded or watched online in preparation for taking your learners through this course:
We also have a PDF of all the lesson plans available, if you would prefer to use them that way.
