This is not a lesson plan, rather a guide as where to go next with the Arts Quest.
In this lesson the students bring together their creations from lesson 8, 9 & 10 from the arts domains Visual, Music & Drama. Depending on time they may just need to be adjusted to fit together or a production can be made new using the prior works as samples and inspiration. There may be just one class production or a few group productions. My idea was that students would work in the area of the arts that most interests them and work with the teams from the other areas.
There will be a production at the end with the wider community being invited.
