Drama Reflection

      I liked the lessons we did in class incorporating drama into our lesson plans. I didn't realize how broad Drama is, I've learned that you don't have to put a play together to incorporate drama into your classroom. I also learned that drama can make everyday lessons exciting and fun for students. I love the game one of our groups played where they had the name on their backs and had to guess who they were by what the others in the group thought of them. It was really fun and you didn't have to be over the top to enjoy the game. I could picture a fifth grade class loving to play this game, it would be a great learning tool and would teach the children to befriend everyone on the classroom. Learning games such as this one could help eliminate "clicks" in your class. This is the type of strategies I will use in my classroom, another on I liked is where we had the 5 people up front in our class and we had to guess who they were. These fit my personally better then jumping up and down or dancing around like a flower or sun. This is a great class and it is definitely changing my thinking about the arts. I think it is great to integrate drama into other areas, its changes the fill of the classroom and will help students to learn more in other subjects.
