| Description: | This course is a reading and writing-intensive version of our Drama in Literature course. Students read dramatic works from various historical periods, including classical Greece, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Victorian Era, and the Twentieth Century. Students study notable dramatists throughout the ages, from Sophocles to Sartre. Students also learn about various aspects of stagecraft, dramatic conventions, and genres. For their final projects, students write and critique their own dramatic plays. Honors Drama Literature can be combined with Honors Shakespearean Literature to make a full-year (2 semester) course. This course meets state standards and is based on the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) standards. College Prep |
