You have all been there, you look at your new class list and see a large number of students in your drama class who really don't like drama. Turns out, they didn't hand in their options form on time and during the course allocation 'roulette' they were assigned to your drama class (because all the 'popular' classes were full - Food and Shop I'm looking at you). So how do you keep them engaged, and offer a balanced and interesting curriculum that meets the objectives and outcomes required? This session will look at how you can offer the curriculum your admin expects, engage all students in the classroom and still keep sane.
