Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Define at least 10 of the 16 drama vocabulary terms (e.g., protagonist, antagonist, dialogue, stage directions).
Distinguish between related terms such as scenes vs. acts, or set vs. setting.
Complete a fill-in-the-blank definition using the correct drama vocabulary word.
Teaching tips
Use the full-definition posters for initial instruction, then switch to the fill-in-the-blank version as a review activity.
Post the color version if wall space allows; use the black-and-white cards printed on colored paper as a budget alternative.
Have students cut out and glue the smaller term cards into the included notebook pages to build a take-home glossary.
Skills covered
Drama terminology recall -- students learn definitions for 16 theater vocabulary terms such as protagonist, antagonist, and stage directions.
Cloze note-taking -- the fill-in-the-blank poster version has students complete missing words in each definition (e.g., 'The main character in the play. Usually the ___ guy.').
Classroom glossary assembly -- students cut out individual term cards and glue them into the included notebook pages to build a personal drama glossary.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How does the pack distinguish 'Set' from 'Setting,' since both relate to where the story takes place?
Set is defined as 'the background of the play' (the physical staging), while Setting is defined as 'where and when the story takes place -- usually described' (the narrative concept), so the posters separate the physical construction from the narrative detail.
What's the difference between an Act and a Scene in this pack's definitions?
An Act is defined as 'a large section of the play, similar to a chapter,' while a Scene is 'a smaller section of the play that takes place in the same setting' -- so acts are the larger divisions and scenes are the smaller units within them.
