To contribute to class discussions in a positive way. | It’s OK to be wrong! Contributing an idea is a positive thing and it doesn’t matter if your idea is ‘right or wrong’. What matters is that you contribute in a positive way that helps move the discussion along. Be brave! |

Track the speaker i.e. look at the person who is talking/performing. Ask questions (asking lots of questions is good learning behaviour) Respect all learners |
To explain using examples to justify points both verbally and in writing. | |
To raise your aspirations of what you are capable of. | Everybody is aiming for the best grades i.e. Grade 9 or Distinction. We are realistic that some students will not achieve these grades but we know that by always aiming for the very best that we will hopefully achieve a grade that is ‘great for us’. Trying our best every day is what counts! |
To compare plays using keywords effectively. | |
To learn lines quickly and accurately. | |
To develop a character considering all appropriate dramatic conventions. | |
To use props and space to greater effect. |
