LB # 9 TEACHING WITH DRAMATIZED EXPERIENCES

       If our teaching is dramatic, our students get attracted, interested and affected. If they are affected and moved by what we taught,we will most likely leave an impact on them.

   Dramatized experiences can range from the formal plays, pageants, to less formal tableau ,pantomine, puppets and role playing. Plays depict life, character or culture or a combination of all three.A pantomine is " the art of conveying a story through bodily movements only".A tableau is a picture like scene composed of people against a background, puppets, unlike the regular stage play, can present ideas with extreme simplicity.

     Types of puppet:

• shadow puppets 
• rod puppets
• hand puppets 
• glove- and finger puppets
• marionettes                                                                                                                                         Role playing is an unrehearsed, unprepared and spontaneous dramatization of a"let's pretend" situation where assigned participants are absorbed by their own roles in the situation described by the teachers.
