What Are The Elements of Drama?

Teaching students about the elements of drama can really change how they understand books and plays, making these stories come alive in exciting new ways. Drama includes a variety of elements such as plot, characters, mood, tone, and focus, which all work together to grab the attention of the reader or audience and tell powerful stories. Each part is crucial in creating the structure of a drama and making it more engaging for the student.
