Drama Across Borders: Share and Compare

Students introduce themselves and each class shares a short example of a local story, gesture, or game. Students practice listening and asking respectful questions about each other's traditions.

In small groups, students choose a drama tradition from their community and explain what emotions and values it expresses. They plan a short, low-tech scene that can be performed with simple props or none at all.

Mixed groups from both classes plan and rehearse a brief shared scene using gestures, voice, and movement. Students give each other feedback and adjust their work to respect both cultural styles.

Each group performs its short scene during a live video call with the partner class. Students then discuss how each culture uses theatre to tell stories and express emotions, noting similarities and differences.

Students complete a short survey and a shared reflection forum about what they learned about the other culture and about their own emotional responses. They summarize key similarities and differences together.
