Teacher'sName: Silvija Ozola
Grade: primaryschool, 5-9
Subject: Native language, Art lessons, extracurricular activities
Topic: Poems and fairy-tales through arts and drama.
Fairy and folk tales as well as poems are useful in drama sessions for
children as they provide a common point of reference and contain
universal characters and themes. They offer an opportunity to develop new
work using a familiar structure. The stories can be used as a launchpad in
various ways to lead into rehearsed performances, improvisations or
storytelling.

poem “Nuisance”byV.Plūdons and make a performance.

Introduction:
In order for students to be successful, it isimportant to read and learn the
poem and try some improvisations – bunnies playing in the forest, jumping
and enjoying the event.

Development
Make your lesson of fairy-tale/poem cross-curricular – prepare masks for
the characters. This can be done both in Class lessons or Art lessons.
Practice
The teacher provides students with the background to the poem. The
teacher reads the poem aloud to the students. After the poem is read
aloud, the class discusses it together. Students listen again as the teacher
re-reads the poem. In the next step, the students read the poem chorally
and then take turns reading it aloud individually.
The students then prepare to dramatize the poem by selecting character
roles and discussing scenery and costumes. Students rehearse the
dramatization of the poem and then do an improvisation based on the
poem. After experimenting with character interactions and dialogues, the
class discusses the improvisation.

8. Introduction:
In order for students to be successful, it isimportant to pre-teach some of
the
more common phrases students might encounter. For the actual role play,
divide the class into small groups. Students should take turns being the
server
or guest. Circulate to make sure students are using the phrases correctly
and
instruct the students when to switch roles.
Implementing this activity in the classroom can help students overcome
their fear of public speaking or speaking English in general, use vocabulary
in context and clarify any misunderstandings in a safe environment.
Development
In this role play, students test their knowledge of food vocabulary and
common questions/phrases used at restaurants. For beginners, stick with
simple questions like “How can I help you?” and “What would you like to
drink?” Vocabulary should also be simple, such as “soup” and “icecream.”
For more advanced classes, you can introduce higher-level vocabulary and
vary the questions.
Tip: Add an extra element of practice and creativity by letting students
design menus before performing the activity.

9. Practice
Students can work in groups.The teacher can give several
photos to the group or pair and different tasks:
· How can I helpyou?
· What would you like to drink?
· May I take your order?
· I would like…
· Check, please?
· Will you be paying in cash or by credit card?
