Reflection #5

What did you learn from developing a Process Drama from text? I feel like I got a lot more out of the book as the reader but then again as the presenter when I thought about and incorporated the process dramas into the book. I love the way the story comes off the pages and becomes alive when you get to act out and do activities that go along with the story WHILE you are reading it. I like to think that the authors and illustrators hope that all of their storybooks are respected so much that teachers use them as a teaching tool and expand the story from the book into a lesson or part of a lesson plan.  
What did you learn from the other team presentations? Listening to the other groups presentations, I got a lot of fun ideas that I want to remember for my future classroom.   
So What drama ideas will you try to implement in your teaching? My favorite activity was when we all got in a circle and held hand and had to navigate as a group, i could see this Process Drama working for so many subjects in school.  
Now What - How will you prepare to teach and integrate creative drama in your teaching? I think always remembering to have an open mind when learning how to teach new subjects and thinking of ways to make learning more meaningful and fun by using drama activities I will be prepared when I make my lesson plans in the future.
