Drama in the school

[Patricia Rodrigo]

Hi everyone!

My experience with drama in the school is not very rich. When I was a child, we performed "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" in English for our families, and being a adult, out of the school, I have taken some drama courses, in fact, I took one about Drama in English. But into my classroom, as a teacher, I didn't feel secure to do something related to this until now. I have done a lot of games related to drama as mimics, role playing, etc., in fact I usually do some in the English class but I have never done a complete play, for example.
This course has given me some important tools to make me feel that I am able to do it, so in the third term I will try to make a project with my students to perform a play.

Great, I'm really happy you've found tools to help you. Good luck with your project!

Hello, Patricia, I feel in some way a bit like you. I love drama, I have practiced it a lot being a child and teenager, and now as a teacher I´m looking forward the moment to find a good script and to act out with the students. My main handicap is the lack of time and also the idea that I would like to make participate all the children. It´s difficult to find or create a story with so may characters, I´ve got 26 students in my class and a story that was quick and easy to performance and to act out. While looking for this story I try to include drama in daily activities in a very simple way, using rol playing or just reading dialogues aloud.
