  1. I think that drama is a required at APR because drama sets us up for our future. For example,because of drama we'll know what to do if we ever come across challenges in life and we'll know how to handle them. But the main reason why i think that i think that drama's a required course at APR is because it gets us ready to work in real life with people that we don't know or don't like.

In drama class we learn how use those skills in a professional manner, so when we get a job we can learn how to work with others on projects and assignments. That is why I think drama is a mandtory class at APR.

  8. I think drama is a required course at APR because it gives students who are creative and artistic and like to act a chance to do what they like and more and to express themselves and their abilities . It helps them learn about character and teamwork and even trust . All things that are a big part of our lives in many ways.Like for example in your job you need to have all these traits or you might not get the job done or be a good worker.That's why I think drama is a required course at APR.

  10. I think drama is a required class because it will help us with our future and give us more oppurtunities for our carrers. Drama should be a required class in every school just to give a sample if how it is and if that is what your career is going to be. For example one of the careers I want to have is be an actor and to be an actor you would need acting lessons which drama is meant for. This is why i believe drama is a required class.

  11. I think drama is a required class because it can teach us many lessons that we can use off the stage. For example, drama can teach us how to improvise, which is an important skill because we will all come across a situation where we don't know what to say and have to make something up on the spot. Another example is that drama teaches us to work together. This is important because we have to be able to work in a group(we will have to eventually) or we can never suceed. Finally, drama teahes us how to express ourselves. This is important because we all have to express ourselves some how or we will be dispondant and alone in life. That is why drama is a required class at APR.

    i think that drama is required because the skills that you learn and do in drama can help you in life. such as if you have a job you will have to be able to cooperate, think on your feet, and do team work.

  14. I think that drama is a required class because it is helping kids learn a sense of responsability and teamwork as a community. Most people would get into alot of fights due to lack of comunication but in drama you can move past all of that and make more friends. if you don't treat others with respect you cannot create a good play.

  15. drama is a required class because when we try to get jobs that are somewhat related to drama or performing arts we can have more knowledge on that subject than someone that feels like they succeed at everything without practice and in a major audition the person that has more knowledge is most likely to get the spot. Going back to the Phantom Tollbooth Q&A one of the people that work at Wheelock Family Theatre said that they have performing arts classes and one of us APR students could go and get a major role in a big production someday

  24. I feel that Drama class is very important at APR. Twomain reasons for it being so important is it builds traits and character. These two things are very important in a school environment. Also having the advantage of performing in front of an audience and classmates opens you up and makes you more alive and makes you less shy. This is very important in the classroom as well as the workplace.
