In Semester 2, we will be exploring the story of Aladdin, the much-loved tale of a street urchin who stumbles across a mysterious lamp with a genie housed inside. Aladdin frees the genie and is given his greatest wish, which is to become a prince in the hope that he may marry the beautiful Princess Jasmine. But the evil Jafar steals the lamp and gets three wishes of his own, so Aladdin must rely on his intelligence to trick Jafar and save the Kingdom. This magical and mystical story is loved by all, and touches on themes such as strength from within, intelligence, perseverance, freedom and most importantly, friendship. The students will be using these themes to explore the text in term three. Their teachers will assist them to develop skills in many areas of speech, drama and public speaking. Our lesson plans will focus on clear and effective speech, how to use pace, pause, emphasis, intonation and enunciation, as well as posture, breathing and stage presence. Students will be encouraged to achieve their very best in our supportive class environment. They will enjoy the various drama games and activities that make learning incredibly fun! In term 4 we will use the presentation skills learned to polish our performance of Aladdin to share with an audience of family and friends at the end of the year.
