This is a 20 slide PowerPoint presentation, complete with animations, sounds, and graphics that will engage your student when starting a drama unit. Describes what is drama, drama terms like playwright, stage directions, set, props, script and much more! The slides cover staging, dramatization, how plays are produced and the role of the audience and theater etiquette.

This was a thorough powerpoint although I was unable to access thebells and whistles due to technical difficulties at my end.

Overall, this is a really good presentation that is clear and well built. There are a few mechanical errors and perhaps a slide or two that are off the point: For example, the slide about the characters coming alive through speech and action would benefit from having an image of characters rather than of the audience. Otherwise, I found this presentation very useful as a foundation on which to customize my own presentation.

I thought the powerpoint was good, and I was able to add my own supplement within the same information some additional terms and activities. I enjoyed the theatre etiquette as it's not something I found in others units.

I will be using this powerpoint with Yr8 students and during our school's open day...parents might learn something too!

I have a total of 20 years teaching experience. After I received my M.Ed. from the University of Florida, I began teaching in elementary school, where I taught pull-out remedial classes for grades 2-5. Then I taught Pre-K for 5 years, before I decided to go up to Middle School, where I have been in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. I am currently teaching 7th grade. I am certified in Elementary Education as well as in Middle Grades in the areas of Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. I am certified as a Teacher Support Specialist. I have an endorsement in Reading K-12, and I also completed my Gifted and Talented Endorsement.
