DRAMA WORKSHOP, a special creative class.

In Drama Workshop students have a lot of different activities. Many of these activities look for one special aim: Creativity. The ways to achieve "creativity" in class are different.
In the following glogster we can appreciate the way they excite their imagination:

Presenting Drama Workshop 2

You may have a lot of ideas in your mind. None of them will come true until you see your students. Only then can you decide which path to take, which way to follow.

 Surprising them during the first class is a good idea. By making them feel both surprised and comfortable, you walk a long way. Theatre, cinema, video recording, taking pictures... is part of a whole:  

creativity

Official presentation is a must, but don't use too many words; just show your students some pictures, a you tube video about a successful play, a game or two...

The first day is an ideal day to introduce Mrs. Sympathy and Mr. Complaints. But who are they?
 Here they are.

 

Drama Workshop 1

IES Julio Caro Baroja is a highly experienced High School
in terms of modern languages. 

Besides Student Exhanges with the USA, Comenius Projects with European countries, trips to London, etc., last school year The Trilingualism Project started. In order to promote modern languages, the English Department considered that a Drama Workshop would help a lot.

But, what's Drama Workshop? How do we focus on Drama in English as a second language?

Drama Workshop is an experience about living Drama in a classroom of English as a second language at a Secondary School.
In the blog every week's post will appear in order to show the way of teaching and learning. Students from IES Julio Caro Baroja will take part in this experience.

On the other hand, the blog expects to give some hints to teachers who are starting Teaching Drama as a second language classes and need some help and resourses.
