Curriculum
Theatre Arts is a semester long connections fine arts class at Inman Middle School. The course traditionally allows the students to build basic fundamental knowledge of the art and discipline of live theatre. As we begin transitioning from a traditional teaching and learning mode into using strategies for the 21st century classroom, we incorporate media, film and other technology to enrich the basic curriculum. Students use collaboration, communication, critical and creative thinking skills to explore the elements of drama in theatre arts.
