My theatrical experience

[Patricia Balmaseda Cuesta]

I have to say that I think theatre is really funny and a perfect way to envolve children in learning English. I am preparing with my class a play which includes songs and all they know. The problem is that my class is a very conflictly one. Most of them are all the time fighting and the ones who are no mature enought are laughting and playing. I have to recognise that it is being a very complicated situation and some times I feel like stopping it.

 

The thing is that theatre, theoretically is a fantastic way to teach but when one facing the students and they don't really want to act, one feels demotivated. This is my case. I sometimes feel kind of frustrated in drama clases. Although I love it and I enjoy it.
