Drama
Teacher: Mr. Murray
Students build self-confidence and self-awareness while also learning how to think quickly on their feet through improvisation. Group work requires cooperation and collaboration. As students actively explore characters and situations of their own imagining, and in written scripts, they build on their ability to empathize and understand. All of these benefits have an impact on their work in other subject areas. Probably the most evident benefit drama provides, however, is the confidence to perform in front of others and to express ideas confidently.
