Teaching Literacy Through Drama
Big thanks to the wonderful group of educators from across our Manaiakalani schools that came to my drama workshop. The discussions around the power of teaching drama through literacy were thought-provoking and exciting. Love that drama strategies can be used across curriculum levels from new entrants right through high school to get students thinking critically and deeply about the elements of storytelling and the texts they are reading.
Using story fragments and the mapping strategy, together as teachers, gave us the opportunity to put ourselves in the shoes of our learners and become aware firsthand of the learning experiences that could possibly arise.
