What: This week in class we learned about different ways to expose children to drama. We played several games and also learned ways to use drama in other daily subjects you teach in your classroom.
So What: I have to admit that I was pretty skeptical about this week's lesson. I've never taken a drama class in my life so I was a little nervous to learn anything along those lines. I was pleasantly surprised to see all the different ways you can teach drama to young children. I loved learning about how to use dramatic activities in other subjects or content areas. When we read the story 'Jessie Goes to America', it was so fun to see all the possibilities that would help kids understand the concept of immigration. I loved seeing how you can get students involved and excited about a topic.
Now What: I was really excited to learn more about something that I know so little about. I think drama is something that kids could really enjoy if it is used in a fun, non-threatening setting. I think now that I know more about the types of activities you can do with kids, I will be more likely to try and incorporate these lessons into my own classroom.
