Reflection #2 DRAMA

Reflect on any new perspectives you have gained about using drama in your future classroom. 

In learning about drama, i didn't know about the different ways of teaching it. All I thought about with drama was plays, acting out stuff etc. I never thought about having talk shows, or interviews.

Why and how do you think you will use drama techniques and strategies? 

Already we have seen some amazing ways to incorporate drama into our lesson plans. I'll make sure to use them because it will help my students express themselves in a way that is not in the everyday way.Also it helps them show what they are learning through another perspective.

What specific activities do you think you will use most as you begin teaching? 

I'm pretty sure I'll be using the interview one where the student has to figure out who he/she is talking to by what they are saying. 

What are your thoughts on integrating drama with other curricular areas?

I think drama is a great way to teach other curriculum. Social Studies would be my big one with teaching drama. There are so many ways to bring social studies into drama that could help my students understand and comprehend a subject that most dote on as "boring."
