Have you ever wondered how to write a play but thought it was too intimidating to get started? Did you know that you don't have to start from a blank piece of paper?
This drama curriculum shows you how to write a play using Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll with practical examples, opportunities to practice, and additional resources to get you started.
6th grade - adults (11 lessons)
(an excerpt from pg. 1)
This curriculum is written to the teacher so you can walk alongside your student as they go through the process of writing a playscript. The first few lessons are specially designed to be interactive, but older students can break off on their own if desired after that keeping in mind that they will still need someone to look at their work and encourage them along the way. Yes, you as the teacher can use this to write your own script. If I can do it, so can you!
If you have a student in upper elementary that’s excited about writing a play, you can have them complete the first seven lessons. This format allows them to create, but not feel overwhelmed with a bigger project. Of course, you know your student best.
For this edition, examples are to be used for sparking creativity and learning purposes only, so please do not copy scripts into your own playscript. Keep in mind that this curriculum is protected under copyright and should not be shared with others. Please send someone interested in this drama curriculum to homeschooldrama.com so they can purchase and download their own copy. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy watching your students be inspired to create.
