Drama Lesson Ideas for Every Classroom
Drama – Why It’s Important
 Arts Education – vital for holistic education
 Often forgotten.
 It has been proven to improve achievement in literacy
  and numeracy.
 Not all kids are pen/paper learners.
 I recommend reading “Champions of Change.”
 Teacher fear – “oh no, they’re out of their seats!”


                           SO...
What Are We Currently Using?
 Blogging – class and individual.
 Digital Portfolio –
 Google Docs Trial – collaborative script writing.
 Radio Plays Using Audacity.
Video/The Connected Classroom
 Xtra-normal.
 Webcame on DET laptop.
 Filming performances and writing critiques.
 Consider buddying up with another school and
 performing over the video conferencing network.
Role Play in English & Maths
 Sometimes good old fashioned ideas help. These are
 great for both primary and high school:
   Dress up and present a short monologue as your
    character.
   Create a set box for a scene in a book you’re reading
    together.
   Create the shapes you are learning about in maths.
    Practise counting money and numbers by having kids
    form groups. From here get the kids to work together on
    a group problem.
For The Science, PE, HSIE Teachers
 Re-enact a scientific experiment. Become the different
  metals, chemicals and show the reaction physically
  without words.
 Role play risk taking situations and how they can be
  avoided.
 In HSIE pick a historic event and imagine you are
  journalists at a press conference covering the event.
Different Learning Styles
 Remember that not all kids are pen and paper learners.
 If you’re having trouble engaging kids these ideas
    might be a good way to encourage them to take a
    renewed interest in your subject.
   Consider visiting:
   Curriculum Support – not just for DET teachers.
   Improvisation Encyclopedia – Google it. Great games.
