This past week in class we have talked a lot about ways that we can integrate drama in our future classrooms. I am not very good at acting but what I have found is that you don't have to be good at it. All you need to do is have a little confidence and a lot of fun.
I want to use some of the drama techniques in my classroom because it will make my class more fun and my students will remember more of what I teach them. I will incorporate them into my lesson. For example, If I were teaching about a story or about a book I would have them set up an interview situation where they become the characters. This way they see more and learn more about the characters.
When I begin teaching I will probably use easier drama games to integrate just because I am getting the hang of teaching. I love the name games that we have learned during class, like the alliteration names. I am "Creative Caitlyn." Another game that I enjoyed reading about was "count-freeze." In this game the teacher counts to 10, during the count, pairs are acting out a certain category but when the teacher gets to 10, they have to freeze. This is fun, but they have to listen and be creative at the same time.
I love the idea about integrating drama into other subjects because it allows students to learn while being silly.
