Reflection #4

What? This week we started learning about drama in the classroom. I never thought about how much drama can enrich your lesson and really get your students involved.

So What? I think I would like to try drama activity, "Hot Seating", for my first year of teaching. This where the students put themselves in other people's roles. I think this will really get them think about how others in history faced the challenges they did. I think along with that I would like to try out "Decision Alley", where they are asked to think about what they would do if they were in another person's place.

Now What? I think students need creative drama in the school because it really gets them involved in the lesson and they remember what they have learned later on. I think it would be a really good idea to try to integrate drama in other curricular areas because it really does give them another view and way of learning. Drama is all hands and some students learn best that way.
