3. Abstraction
Something dramatic is something that is
stirring or affecting moving. A dramatic
entrance is something that catches and
holds our attention and has an emotional
impact. If our teaching is dramatic our
student get attracted, interested and
affected. If they are affected and moves by
what we taught, we will almost likely leave
an impact on them. So why can’t we be
dramatic all the time?

15. Role Playing
Is an unrehearsed,
unprepared and spontaneous
dramatization of a “let’s
pretend” situation where
assigned participants are
absorbed by their own roles in
the situation described by the
teacher.
17. How is Role Playing Being
Done ?
It can be done by describing a situation by which
would create different viewpoint on an issue and
then asking the students to play the role of
individuals involved. Any kind of conflict situation,
real or potential is useful to role-playing or any
situation in which real feeling are concealed.
Consider situations in school at home on the
playground, at work, in government. The role
playing is followed by a discussion. Among the
questions that may be asked are:
18. How did you, as actors. Feel?
As observers, would you agree
with what the actors said or did?
Any lesson learns?
