Evolving Culture - A Middle Years Drama Unit

Published on Apr 15, 2020

Drama Victoria

Teaching Year 9 or 10 Drama remotely? Evolving Culture is a fully-developed one-term unit of work, exploring the connections between culture, stories, and identity. As well as their personal identities, students engage with the complexities of exploring and expressing First Nations characters, cultures, and stories. Evolving Culture is based on the 2020 Drama Victoria Theatre Festival workshops, but has been further developed to include an entire term's work. Included in this package is a student booklet, which allows students to work independently at home, a teacher unit-plan with suggestions for dividing up the work, an assessment rubric aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, and a teacher PowerPoint to get you started with 'face-to-face' lessons. Assessment tasks include an interactive art installation performance, two monologues, and an ensemble performance - all of which can be completed in isolation.
