DD is coming to the end of year 8, so vaguely thinking about GCSE choices that she'll be making next year.
She's at an academically selective school and will be doing 3 sciences and at least 1 MFL. She fancies Latin, which she's very good at, and is thinking about Ancient Greek (pushed by not entirely disinterested Latin teacher) and/or Drama as her optional choice(s).
Could anyone tell me a bit more about what those subjects involve at GCSE? I don't have any particular feelings either way - it's just that I've no personal experience of either subject and I'm curious as to what you actually do for a GCSE in either. Does Drama have a horrific workload like Art? Does Ancient Greek at GCSE make any kind of sense given that many (most?) undergraduates will come to it fresh?
(Of course I know whatever anyone says will be out of date by 2018 when Govebots will be reading the answers to the questions directly from each student's brain).
Thanks
