Christopherus High School Notes by Donna Simmons
Notes with
information, resources, ideas and plans to help put together a block on
Comedy and Tragedy (taught in Waldorf schools in the 9th grade) |
This is the first in a series of Christopherus High School Notes. Donna has been teaching high school students for the last 4 years and this is one of the main lesson courses she has taught.
Our High School Notes are not intended to be as detailed or complete as our Christopherus Unit Studies but we believe they can be of great use to someone putting together a high school program at home.
This booklet contains the following:
- Why Comedy and Tragedy?
- Four Week Schedule
- Key Elements of Greek Theater
- Electra
- Roman Theater
- Masks (including a mask-making project)
- Japanese Noh Theater
- The Damask Drum

- Notes on Commedia dell'Arte, Neo-Classical Theater, 19th and 20th Century Theater
- Six Characters in Search of an Author
