I think that process drama is a great addition to a classroom. It gets kids to connect to a text in ways that they probably haven't done. Of course, I also like the higher order thinking you are encouraging by presenting this type of lesson. It is also something that can easily be adjusted for different learning levels and grades. I can even see Kindergarteners doing something like this, with a different text of course.
I agree! Incorporating process drama into a lesson is a great way to get children excited and involved in school. I always enjoyed expressing myself in ways that were out of the ordinary than simply answering questions or taking a test. I think there is much more to memorizing facts. Instead, children can take what they have learned and project it outwards and apply it in different situations.
