The full set — nine overall expectations and every specific one — lives in the Curriculum folder, and each task page links to exactly the expectations it addresses.
Put plainly, week to week that means:
- Make — build scenes from sources and ideas using the creative process, the elements of drama, and a growing kit of conventions.
- Look and think — watch your own and others’ work like an artist, and put what you notice into words that mean something.
- Work like an ensemble — rehearse, negotiate, and perform inside an agreement that makes risk safe.
