Student feedback
«Exploring the short story through drama meant the following:
-
We were active active.
-
We did something rather than just sit and talk for a double lesson.
-
We acted out the characters.
-
I read the story more than twice (as I would usually have done) and thereby gained more insight into the story.
-
Doing the same activity several times was repetitive and it made me understand the characters better.
-
It was fun to do something in the group.
-
I would like to work in larger groups.
-
The story did not have enough action for me.»

«After the drama lessons today, I feel relaxed and enthusiastic about the upcoming lessons. My students and I can discover qualities about each other that are locked up during most of our time in class.»
