Dear Diary,

                                  PRE TEXT

 

In today's workshop, my focus was on the Read pretext where we had to read the fragment given to us along with two supplementary questions including: What do you know from reading it? What questions are beginning to form? Firstly, I had no idea what a pretext was until today's workshop, from students answers as well as Victoria's comments I was familiar and able to grasp on the meaning of a pretext. This enabled me to grasp the key idea for today's workshop. Our group came up with five insightful questions including, where are you from? Why are you here? What do you eat? Do you have supernatural powers? Who are your parents? Who found them? For future implications, I would allocate a similar script to students where I would imply questions in telling students that we are looking for an inference and that are free to create a sense of things that may occur in the pretext or that have come to their mind whilst reading the pretext. In reflection to the k-6 creative arts syllabus, drama-making outcome DRAS1.2 conveys, story, depicts events, and expresses feelings by using the elements of drama and the expressive skills of movement and voice. As becoming a teacher, I would make easy for students to make decisions about role and action for when they explore the various drama techniques in thinking about ideas and questions extracted from the pretext such as who, what, where, when and why.
