This document discusses using dramatized experiences like plays, pageants, pantomime, tableaus, and puppets as teaching tools. It defines each type of dramatization and provides examples of how they can be used. Plays depict life, character, or culture, while pageants are usually based on local history. Pantomime conveys a story through movements alone. Tableaus create picture-like scenes, and puppets can present ideas simply through different puppet types like shadow, rod, hand, and marionette puppets. The document encourages involving students as speakers, manipulators, and puppet makers.
