With so much stuff into our daily schedules, it is often difficult to set aside a moment formally teach drama skills, searching for a script to play, assign roles to rehearse, and play. With a little creativity, however, it is possible to integrate drama into other areas of the curriculum. You can learn in many areas through the lesson plans based drama.
Start with the drama skills
If we present an acting workshop for students were, we want to cover the skills, such as:
* Voice features (volume, projection, sound, language, dialect, tone, pitch, articulation, rhythm)
* Body language (posture, breathing gestures, facial expressions)
* Emotion (fear, ecstasy, bad mood, ecstatic, bored, …)
* Role (teacher, car salesman, fairy tale ogre, 3 years old child to gain a lot of gum chewer)
All these skills can be presented and put into practice by a theater-cutting activity.
Lesson plans for Language Arts Drama
This is the easiest of the areas covered by the workers, as most of us take the stage to be part of our language
Arts Program. There are several ways to informal skills to integrate drama into some unexpected problems.
For example:
Spelling B-Mote
Practicing spelling can be more fun if the students are encouraged to use various methods, dramatically if the spelling of their words.
Voice Elements
- Vary the tone, pitch, volume, speed ….
- Add some hesitation and a gesture to show syllable breaks
- Speak with an accent
Body language
Body Move – the nature of individual letters, the word is written to show
for example – a swing movement for writing fluid ’s’ or rigid with rigid arms for the letter “t”
The movements do not have the shape of the letter but the “feel”
- Maybe a punch in the stomach for the letter “f”. Students should also be informed that there are no right or wrong in their choice for each letter.
Emotion
Spell-check, the word of the emotion excited by the teacher or coach
Spell-check, the word excited with the emotion through the Word, for example, “Uneasy”
Spell-check, the word with the opposite movement inspired by the word, ie “boring”
-Difficult Words – students with a specific emotion, and all along the line spelling the same word in different emotions
Role
Spell the word, as if:
“We won $ 3 million
“You have three years
-You have a mouth full of Jelly Beans
“You are the ogres hiding under the bridge
Many of these methods can be used for rote learning in other areas such as multiplication facts or mathematical formulas.
Drama Lesson Plans for Math
Body Sculpture can add prescribe laughter to the geometry of 2D and 3D shapes. Divide the class into groups with students, what forms you work. The groups should try to make the first known properly by the teacher or facilitator.
-Make a rectangle, square, diamond …..
-Make a cube, sphere, tetrahedron …..
-Make a cube with a cone inside a sphere in square ……
Can you a way to use it to think the concepts of perimeter and area increase of an integrated curriculum?
Science Drama Play
This could be used for inspection or to take over, another research project! For example, if you could work on the equipment awarded an animal, pairs of students present to be an animal research, but their results in a written report or display, they present a brief sketch. Establishing requirements for the task. In part, the man in the creature in the wild run to show their natural habitat. In clothing and dialogue, students must demonstrate why they are there (hunters, hikers, scientists, swimmers …..). Details of the animal’s appearance, behavior, nutrition, etc. to be listed, and the “action” should clearly indicate the results of the contact between humans and animals.
Add a little drama to learning. It’s fun to spice up lessons in science, mathematics, social studies, sports and some other unusual suspects.
