Lesson plans & process drama

While I am still new with writing lesson plans, I liked creating one based off of Esperanza Rising and incorporating Process Drama. It made the assignment really fun and gave me the ability to be creative, giving students the opportunity to express themselves in ways they haven't been able to do before. I took a Children's Theatre class last semester and learned a lot of Process Drama strategies but have not seen an actual connection in incorporating them into the classroom. Creating this lesson plan made me realize all of the possibilities there are to making school fun! Being able to present my lesson plan to my partner while hearing hers in return made me realize the mistakes I had made and was able to revise it. I feel as if there is no better way to learn than from the opinions of others, reflection and revision. The open communication in this class is a fabulous way to learn new things and stay engaged!
