Observing, listening, reflecting, describing, and responding
|
• Through reflection and discussion, based on
careful observation and listening, reflect upon what has
been learned in terms of personal understanding and knowledge
and skills gained;
• discuss and evaluate the performances of others,
e.g. other pupils, amateur and professional groups,
including those experienced through the mass media.
|
• Through observation, reflection and discussion,
show ability in evaluating the work of self and others and
describe principles for future drama activity;
• evaluate in some detail such aspects as plot,
characters and technical aspects of presentations in which
they have been involved, or have observed, e.g. other
pupils, amateur and professional groups, including those
experienced through mass media;
• make written evaluations of their own work
and that of others.
|
At this stage pupils should be given clear guidelines to
enable them to provide a written account of a presentation
in which they have participated. This may be based on a
classroom presentation to a peer group audience or may,
at the teacher’s discretion, take the form of a presentation
to a wider audience, for example to parents.
There should be opportunities for judging personal effectiveness
in the group situation and allowing pupils to justify opinions
given while evaluating the quality of their work. At the
same time, opportunities should be given for pupils to express
and justify opinions on a presentation they have observed
and to evaluate the work of others (peer group, amateur
and professional groups). Such evaluation should cover both
the work of performers and technical aspects of the production.
When engaged in such activities, pupils should be taught
and encouraged to use appropriate drama terminology. Evaluation
work may be supported by the use of: video recordings, individual
and group work; group discussion; and maintenance of logbooks/diaries.
