Description

You will be exploring the world of the Soap Opera  in the style of Neighbours, Coronation Street, Home and Away etc.

You will create characters with strong family, work and friendship connections and develop exciting, dramatic story lines. 

Each 'episode' will end with a cliffhanger - a promise that the storyline will be continued and extended in the next episode.

Plot lines will centre around family life, personal relationships and conflicts,  following the lives of a group of characters who live or work in a 

particular place, or focus on a large extended family. 

The storylines that you create will follow the day-to-day activities and personal relationships of these characters at work, at school, in the dairy, over the garden fence, socialising.
