TEKS
for Theatre, Grade 5
§117.19. Theatre, Grade 5.
(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.
