This year-long planning guide maps a year of drama teaching. We put these lessons in a recommended delivery order below, but you may revise, rearrange, and adapt as you see fit. This sequence is not a mandate; rather, it is intended to provide you with assistance as you build a curriculum for your classroom.
We also designed a shortened lesson sequence for Pre-Kindergarten students.
