This webquest is for a year 9 or 10 class. It is part of the Making Drama component of the syllabus and is part of the essential content.

Outcomes to be assessed:

A student devises, interprets and enacts drama using scripted and unscripted material or text.
 * Outcome 5.1.3: **


 * Students learn to: **
 * explore and/or devise and enact scripts and texts in different dramatic forms or performance styles, written by themselves or others.
 * analyse and interpret scripts and text.


 * Students learn about:**


 * the conventions and techniques associated with writing or enacting scripts or texts.
 * the inter-relationship of features such as form, style, theme, purpose and intended audience in drama scripts or texts.


 * Time considerations:**
 * For the first activity give around 20 minutes for the students to complete.
 * For the second activity also give around 20 minutes to complete.


 * Notes for the teacher:**

They are being put into groups of four so they can discuss forms and styles, perform together and get used to working in a team environment. Although there will be some discussion and noise try to monitor it and make sure that it does not get out of hand. For the second part of the lesson they will be getting up into the space and finding their own areas to work quietly. Make sure you allow them to work through their scripting appropriately, while making sure that they are not just wasting time.

Resources:
 * Individual computers with internet access or if this is unavailable get them to write down the worksheet questions and run through the webquest as a class on an IWB (Interactive Whiteboard).
 * Pens/pencils
