Now that the students have presented the case for their creature in the Creature Congress, they are ready for further exploration with drama-based learning.
Theater is a powerful tool with which the students can communicate information about their studies.
Let the students play around with drama exploration while concurrently researching products and food origins or other environmental topics. Drama is process-oriented. It encourages creativity, self-expression, communication, empathy for others and social relationships. Dramatic activities can include pantomime, creative movement, creative drama, storytelling, choral speaking, storydrama, readers' theatre, theatre games and puppetry. To integrate drama and environmental studies, try simple activities and games to build drama skills and group relationship.
