Curriculum content descriptions
create and co-create fictional situations based on imagination and/or experience (AC9ADR2C01)
Elaborations
- using puppets to create new stories, including stories that communicate their understanding of existing stories or personal experiences; for example, using puppets they have made from repurposed or recycled materials and/or puppets that are modelled on puppets used in an Asian culture
- using learning from explorations of drama that communicates First Nations Australians’ connection to and responsibility for Country/Place to devise drama that communicates their own connection to and responsibility for place; for example, devising short scenes that communicate feelings about a “favourite” place or show how they care for a place in their community
- using costume items and props to share information about their character with other participants in the drama when “in-role” during Readers’ Theatre
- identifying situations drawn from stories, films, fantasy, history or personal experience that might be explored through dramatic play, process drama or puppetry
- considering how unstructured materials might be used to create play spaces, or everyday clothing items might be used to symbolise roles (hats, coats, lab coats, briefcases, etc.)
- contributing ideas and actions within whole group or small group improvisations as part of a process drama to support or extend the offerings of others, including teacher-in-role
- communicating non-verbally by using facial expressions and movements to explore and show role and situation when participating in mime or movement-based drama
- accepting the pretence situation established by others or participating in its active development; for example, by creating relevant props and suggesting relevant roles or additional situations to explore
- using inquiry questions to propose situations to explore in dramatic play and process drama, such as “What else might happen to these characters?”, “What might happen next?”, “What might have happened before the story?”, “What if I was there?”
