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?
