Drama Happens in the Classroom

Synopsis

Since 2007, a new Chinese Modular Curriculum Structure was implemented. In this new curriculum, a school-based module was designed to allow schools to come up with their own teaching materials, methods and assessments while taking into account the special characteristics of their students.

With the introduction of this new curriculum, two teachers from Blangah Rise Primary School, together with Singapore's Ministry of Education Curriculum Planner and Special-grade teacher, as well as Drama Box's Artistic Director, created a new practice, taking into consideration how School-Based Curriculum complements the Central Curriculum to achieve its learning objectives with the application of theatre techniques to activate and deepen the teaching of Chinese language.

Drama Happens in the Classroom is the beginning of an exploration in this area. Through illustrations and explanations on Drama-in-Education concepts and techniques, and a few classroom examples as well as practical lesson plans, Drama Happens in the Classroom hopes to open up the imagination and creativity of the education of Chinese language in Singapore!
