Drama

This term, is like a half term- so we have to move fast. Unfortunately or fortunately we are studying a new genre- drama. We have to be willing to move about, think,  create and debate our findings as with any piece of art. For second form, we will be studying Ti- Jean and His Brothers by Derek Walcott and Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.
Look out for something innovative this term!
