Reflection #2

Reflect on any new perspectives you have gained about using drama in your future classroom. Why and how do you think you will use drama techniques and strategies? What specific activities do you think you will use most as you begin teaching? What are your thoughts on integrating drama with other curricular areas?

I think I learned this week that as a teacher intergrated arts and drama into the classroom is and can be such a simple thing. I think some teachers think that intergrated art in their classroom is a hard time consuming thing to do, but it doesn't have to be. There are so many possibilities and creative ways that teachers can enrich their lessons with the arts. I definaltley think the music playing while students enter the classroom is an awesome idea and one i will use in my classroom. I think it is a great way to get students adjusted from what they previously were doing and get ready to learn. I think intergrating drama is a great thing and an oppurtunity for students to engage and also come out of their comfort zones to learn.
