Thanks for putting up the website and the discussion forum. I am still waiting for Pauls input regarding my doing something with chicken shed. I hope he has returned from Russia. I had taught a darama class a few weeks back at the DRUM organization as a supply volunteer. It was one of the best classes taught. Our topic and activities was on communication. What and How we communicate in life and to that to bring that on to the stage. Communication is an instinctual act as breathing. We spoke of the many different ways we communicate.
While observing the students reactions to the information and activities, they demonstrated an understanding to information that came off as novel. taking part in the realism of the acitivies enabled them to experience the theories spoken. As a result, their comments were positive and afirmative only to open doors to build on with new information. Personally, the results were exciting.

Hello Ruth,
feels good being back on track. I posted a comment on the subject of play. This topic gets me very enthusiastic about teaching and reaching out to every pupil to have them achieve mastery of a subject matter. In many ways creative presentation on the work from students seemed to bring about better retention and bring down much barriers. The theatre, I found to be a great learning hub whether the stage in a theatre or in the classroom. the pupils can bring into the learning some of their own backgroung knowledge wich is shared and explored. The exploration could be done through discussions, improve, relection, and most of all research for validity of information. Each pupil can work according to their own ability. Mainstream pupils get to learn creatively, become peer supporters, and much more.
