Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Have learners discuss the characters and events/key issues in the play.
- Put learners into groups or pairs depending on the number of characters in the play/drama. Each group should have a leader.
- Give scenarios (from the story/play) to groups and have members take up roles of the characters. Create dialogues for the sketch and have learners prepare to perform the sketch. Go round and provide support to groups.
- Have groups take turns to perform their sketch in front of the class.
- Lead the class with questions to talk about each sketch. They talk about what went well, what needs to be improved, suggest alternative ways of doing it better, the moral values and how they relate to life.
