Drama Reflection 4:

Drama in Education Part 4

Agenda - Lessons to Improve our Understanding of Drama: Re

• Cross Curricular - Social Studies 
• Personal Narrative
• Story Telling
  

Reconnecting and Warming Up: 

- The funky chicken! 

- The hand of power!

• Both activities were silly yet fun
• They allow students to demonstrate their creativity (particularly though the hand of power activity) 
• These activities also exemplify the sense of community and belonging in the classroom, as some students might be nervous of what activities are to come. 

Focus: Drama , Language , and Social Studies:

   Identity, Place, Time:

Identity: 

 - Goal of Social Studies -> History, Time

 - Identity describes personal stories; our lived experiences in relationship to others, times and places

Beginning with Personal Narrative:

- Where I'm From...

- I am from...

 - We began by reading Barefoot: Escape on the Underground Railroad by Pamela Duncan Edwards.
 - We did a choral retelling of the story 
 - Our words and actions reflect the tone and atmosphere of the picture book
