Year 7 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Elements of Drama and Improvisation are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Drama Year 7 uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Elements of Drama and Improvisation opens the Drama Year 7 course. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
