Exploring Roles

An integrated Arts unit that combines Visual Art and Drama while also explicitly targeting the general capabilities. Students will explore expression, improvisation, play and how to change their voices and bodies to portray roles. They will then use their understanding of roles to plan and create a character mask, and participate in a poetry performance.

Included in this package is an extensive work program that includes 17 lesson plans, all lesson resources, A Glossary of Great Games and assessment options. This unit has been written with NQT’s in mind and is very easy to follow, with multiple options on how to differentiate lessons to include a diverse range of learners.

While this unit is suitable for all curricula, the documentation is linked to ACARA through explicitly highlighting content descriptors, Achievement standard and the General Capabilities.
