In this unit students will explore short play scripts of different genres, including drama, historical drama and futuristic drama from Qwiller Shorts: Ten Minute Plays. They will learn about the language and structural devices used in short plays to communicate ideas, values and cultural beliefs. These include playwriting elements, such as writing dialogue, developing characters and setting, writing stage directions and writing scenes. Student will also explore ways of communicating ideas through language devices such as intertextuality, motif, dramatic irony, juxtaposition, descriptive language and writing style. Students will write their own ten-minute play and undertake the editing process and workshop their plays with other students, much like a dramaturge would. Students will also develop drama skills and perform either one or two scenes from their plays or their whole play. In the process of developing their play for performance, they will undertake the role of a director and write directorial notes for one or more scenes, outlining how the scenes or scenes could be performed. Students will also reflect on their own processes of learning.
