I'm just getting started, where do I begin?

On our Getting Started page, you'll find a guide of sample lessons to assist you. After you sign up you'll gain access to our seven introductory lessons, suitable for all grades to learn foundational drama skills.

What are the introductory lessons?

We created the introductory lessons to jump-start any teacher or group unfamiliar with using drama in the classroom. Using these lessons, you can implement and experiment with the creative process and the basic skills of drama, while stimulating learning and integrating drama with other subjects. Afterwards, you can move on to our full grade-specific curriculum with objectives aligned to the United States National Standards. We've planned the academic year for your with the lessons and corresponding assessments in sequence.

The OneStopDRAMAShop site is designed around our search function. Choose the type of material (activities, stories, lessons, and more) and any additional criteria (such as grade level, concepts & skills, and room arrangement) to find downloads tailored to your needs.
