Christian County Schools shared their Primary School Drama curriculum map and the description below.
Christian County Schools
Primary School Drama
The Christian County School District has created curriculum maps for grades K through 12 for all of the arts forms. The maps were last revised in June 2003.
The maps feature a time frame for each unit or topic, references to Arts and Humanities Core Content, Program of Studies, and Key Concepts in the arts. A column for Activities/Demonstrators/Technology is completed at some grade levels that offers suggestions in these areas.
To view curriculum maps from kindergarten through high school, please visit the Christian County web site. Individual grade level maps are listed as separate files.
Standards based lesson plans and units are available at the Arts Toolkit Web site that can be used to teach the concepts and topics included in these maps. (You may be asked to register in order to view the lessons.)
For more information about this map, please contact Deb Fowler at Christian County Schools.
