Study Guide: Prescribed Texts G10 ~ Dramatic Arts
YEAR PLAN Below is a schedule of content work for the year. Plan carefully and allow enough time for revision. The Via Afrika Dramatic Arts Learner’s Book is divided into journeys rather than chapters or modules. We will study all journeys except 10 (Indian Theatre) and 11 (Commedia dell’ arte). It would, however, be to your benefit to read these two journeys and get to know these types of theatre. Please consult the year plan below to know when to study which journey.
