Students keep a folio of all ideas, plans, research and draft assessment pieces as well as regular journal entries that demonstrate their own ideas opinions and development in relation to their learning throughout their participation in all aspects of the stage production rehearsals and performances.
They use their folio of evidence in a filmed ‘Round Table Discussion’ with their teacher and peers focusing on their learning and development in the Stage Production course.

Students work collaboratively in small groups to plan and create props or sets for the musical or design tickets, programs or posters for the production (or any other negotiated area related to the production.) A written report with self and peer assessment is part of this assessment task.
