What if you are working on the Drama One Curriculum and you have an unexpected absence? We’ve put together Choice Board Activities for each unit in the Curriculum. • The choice board is a tic tac toe grid (three rows of three activities) of independent drama activities. • Each square of the grid has a different title of an activity. Each activity comes with an instruction sheet. • There are activities that can be completed in the classroom or at home without internet access. There are a few activities that require access to materials (but are pretty flexible with that definition) or internet access for research. Some activities have a presentation as their final product.
