Reflecting on Drama

Now that we have one field trip left, our drama class is coming to an end. While I was very nervous when this class was starting, I now have a new appreciation for drama.

My teaching pedagogy for drama centres around the idea that drama can be utilized throughout each and every subject. And that is something that I learned through this class.

Furthermore, I believe that in order for students to learn in all subjects, they need to be able to make connections to what they are learning. For them to make connections, they need to be engaged in the subject. They need to be taking ownership over their own learning. And I believe this can all be achieved through drama.

Drama is everywhere. We, as teachers, just need to embrace it.
