TEKS
for Theatre, Grade 3
§117.13. Theatre, Grade 3.
(a) Introduction.
(1) Four basic strands--perception,
creative expression/ performance, historical and cultural
heritage, and critical evaluation--provide broad, unifying
structures for organizing knowledge and skills students are
expected to acquire. Through perceptual studies, students
increase their understanding of self and others and develop
clear ideas about the world. Through a variety of theatrical
experiences, students communicate in a dramatic form, make
artistic choices, solve problems, build positive self-concepts,
and relate interpersonally.
(2) Students increase their understanding
of heritage and traditions through historical and cultural
studies in theatre. Student response and evaluation promote
thinking and further discriminating judgment, developing students
who are appreciative and evaluative consumers of live theatre,
film, television, and other technologies.
