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 missing words in a drama definition using the notebook cloze chart.
Teaching tips
Use the full-definition posters and chart for instruction, then the cloze or blank-definition notebook chart for practice.
Choose among the three poster styles to suit printing and display needs.
Explain that a protagonist is the central character and an antagonist opposes that character; these roles do not require a good-person/bad-person split. A theme can be an idea explored by a play, not only its moral.
Skills covered
Drama terminology — students learn and use sixteen terms, including protagonist, antagonist and stage directions.
Cloze note-taking — students complete words within definitions on a one-page notebook chart.
Glossary writing — students use the blank-definition chart to explain the terms in their own words.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
