Drama in Education Response

Summary:

Creativity is necessary in education, and a way to channel it is through drama. Dramatic

activities are a good tool for teaching and learning. Drama is all through history. Drama can be

used to understand a number of things. Teaching using drama employs all aspects of the brain.

Linear drama and process oriented drama are the starting points for drama as a teaching method.

Linear has a clear beginning, middle, and end. Process oriented is more open ended. There are

many activities that the book discuses that could be used in order to get a feel for how to use

drama in a classroom.

Noteworthy Point:

I really liked when it discussed the color touch game for the classroom. This is something that I

could see myself using in my own classroom. This is a good starting activity to make students

open up and feel comfortable.

Question:

It says drama can be incorporated into each subject, but how could you use drama for teaching

things like math and science?
