Drawing up a Contract
A drama contract such as the framed extract (on the right) from "With Drama in Mind"
by Patrice Baldwin pp. 83 - 85 might be a good starting guide.
Another useful reference for setting up a drama contract with your pupils
is on the PCSP website with examples on pages 3 & 4

Question
Q: Do I need a drama contract before I start drama with my class?
A: Yes, as the pupils have a need to feel safe before they engage in role,
character, situation and dare to take risks when making their contribution.
You, yourself need the contract also as your role in the classroom
changes from teacher to drama facilitator.
