WHAT:
This week in class we learned about the different ways drama can be incorporated into the classroom. I learned there are many benefits in using drama both educationally as well as socially.
SO WHAT:
There are different activities that I believe would be the useful in my classroom. I would definitely have the students close their eyes and envision the stories as I read them, or have them do journal entries as if they were the specific characters from the story. I also really like the activity where there are 4 people us front as a character, and then have them play off of each other as you ask them questions (like we did in class). I think it is fun and helps them learn with perspectives.
NOW WHAT:
In order to be able to better integrate drama into my curriculum, I plan to learn more strategies and practice them in my field experience as well as my lessons in my own schooling now. I know that if I get more used to using it now, it will only get easier with time. I never had thought about how beneficial drama could be, but now that I know, I want to use it to the best degree I can. I want to practice and see what I like and come up with more ways to use it. Now is a great time for me to gain experience and I plan to do so.
