■      Combine Nouns/Verbs/Adjectives onto one paper and give the other two categories their own sheet

●      This time, we will do it a little differently. Everyone will start on the same side of the room. When I call out a statement and the student agrees with such a statement, they will use their bodies to demonstrate how much they agree with the statement in a way that they determine. (example: if they really like it, they go walk very tall and fast; if they like it but it’s not their favorite, they can walk slower and slouched).

○      I can tell Miss Adair what unity is.
○      I use my big voice when I talk in front of my class so that everyone can hear me.
○      My favorite color is blue.
○      I like to play sports.

First Visit! (September 18, 2018)

For the first visit with Miss Adair’s class, I wanted to get to know the students and introduce them to the subject of drama. My goal was to get them to become comfortable with moving and developing expressions so that we can build on that from here on out. Name Fame The first activity that we did was a name game entitled “Name Fame.” For this activity, we sat in a circle and listened to each person say their name and one thing that they are “famous” for. In between each person’s turn, we clapped and repeated the phrase “Name game, name game, what’s your name and what’s your fame.” I only had to repeat this phrase twice before the students caught on. Once they figured out the phrase, they excitedly chanted it and were proud to share their name and facts. Through this activity, the students were able to practice speaking loud in front of the entire class. The activity also helped me begin to learn the names of each student (although I will need more practice with this). Mirror

Third Visit! (October 23, 2018)

This visit was great! I feel like we made break throughs with curriculum and made important connections with the activities we did. The first activity that we did was called “Emotion Circle.” The students stood in a circle with me in the middle. They started by facing the outside of the circle. I called out an emotion or a situation for them to think about how they would portray it with their bodies and faces. On the count of three, they turned around and struck a pose to show me what that specific emotion or situation meant to them. We did things such as happy, sad, excited, going to Disney Land, first day of school, etc. The students responded really well and gave plenty of variety in their answers. At the end of the game, we made the connection that everyone feels things differently and has different interpretations of the same topic. We related that to the idea of an opinion- it is different for each person. We, then, kept rolling with the idea of

Second Visit! (October 16, 2018)

Today was an exciting day! It was the first day that we integrated dramatic activity into the curriculum that the class has already been learning. We started out with the Number Levels game that we played last time. The students were excited to show me that they remembered how to play from the previous visit. We were able to jump right into this game without much instruction. This served as a warm-up to get the kids moving and thinking. The main focus of the lesson was on teaching “5-Finger Retell” through drama. “5-Finger Retell” is the different parts of a story broken down so that children can begin to analyze a text: 1) character, 2) setting, 3) problem, 4) solution, and 5) plot. The class has been talking about this concept over the past couple of weeks, so I wanted to use an activity that could help them solidify the idea and assess if they can pick out each part within a story. For the activity, I talked and explained what acting is. We did a
