     • How did the other elements contribute to the overall story?
     • What techniques did you notice in the scene?
6. Evaluate (5 minutes):

   • Collect and review the quizzes to gauge individual comprehension.
7. Extend (5 minutes):
   • Conclude the lesson by summarizing the key points discussed.
   • Encourage students to explore and analyze technical elements, other elements, and techniques in future drama performances they watch or participate in.
   • Provide additional resources, such as websites or books, for further exploration.

Note: Depending on the availability of resources and time, you can modify the lesson plan to include hands-on activities, such as creating a mini-drama performance where students incorporate various technical elements, other elements, and techniques.
