Drama workshop - 124th of May 2012
Dear Diary,
In today's workshop, my focus was on the picture book "Voices in the park" by Anthony Browne. We listened to Victoria read the book with such a dramatic tone of voice. This technique and the main themes of the story allowed grasping the key idea of the Authors meaning to his audience. The book entails such great pictures along with great grammatical features. I was able to activate my prior knowledge to Edup 2002 when we read this book in the lecture and the book I had to do for my assignment so it really helped me to gain further insightful knowledge about the purpose/content and main ideas of the book. For teaching practices, I would take aboard a similar lesson as the one today. I would read a different picture book to the students. The picture book may be, "Lost and Found" by Oliver Jeffers. The story will be read to the students and students are then allowed to construct a Role on the wall/word bank where students have give the two main characters a name example loved, angry so forth. In reflection to the K-6 creative arts syllabus, students are performing DRAS1.3 Interacts collaboratively to communicate the action of the drama with others.
