Drama (Genres of Literature)

This topic offers a detailed exploration of Drama. Learners study different types of drama (tragedy, comedy) and deconstruct its fundamental elements: plot, character, theme, dialogue, setting, act, scene, and staging. Through analysis, role-play, and dramatisation, students learn to interpret characters, analyse themes, understand dramatic structure, and appreciate staging techniques. They engage with plays addressing cross-cutting themes relevant to Zambia. This hands-on, competence-based approach develops critical thinking, collaboration, and performance skills, which are essential for both written analysis in ECZ examinations and practical School-Based Assessments.
