Year 7 Drama students show resilience and humour during lockdown!
Danny Gesundheit
Doing a subject like drama over a computer during remote learning can be quite challenging. Students in year 7A and 7G were supposed to be studying the art of mime. Instead, they were faced with an alternative task: create a picture/film storybook using one of the following headings: FAKE NEWS, FAMILY, NEW KID ON THE BLOCK, HOME ALONE, GAME TIME or SICK IN BED. Students had to become more than just mime artists. They had to create a story, play all the characters, take the photographs/film, and put it all together in an editing program. The results were fantastic! The students showed great skill and humour. They produced some inspiring work, especially because of the difficult circumstances! Charlie Chaplin and Marcel Marceau would have been proud!
