Block 2-Week5

 The week 5 lesson of drama mainly focus on rehashing for the play that we are expected to do. During this lesson there were people deployed to observe our rehearsal to monitor, guide and advise us based how we performed. This acted as the support system as the method of scaffolding. After this session we were arranged in circle to do ice breaking activities which was aimed to activate and make students move out of their comfort zone. The first action revolves around one person entering the center and do a certain action then other students imitate him/her. In the second activity we one student had to be at the center and do an any action until the other students ask him/her what they are doing then they say any activity for that student who asked to do it.

WEEK 5

 In week five of the drama class, there was a new instructor introduced whom we did several activities with him. All these activities were revolving around using gesture and body language or movement to tell a story or deliver a certain massage rather than using verbal way of communication. Firstly, he stated by placing many pieces of paper on the floor written action words.

There was an activity of tongue twisters where we say different of them suggested by other students which helps to improve language development in leaners as they began to gain control of their language skills. This helps to bring fun and laughter in the teaching practice as students will laugh at other another's mistakes when attempting this activity. It was very difficult to do this activity as there is mouth is not used to the sequence of words being used.  Thirdly, we were paired into two then required to make the same movement or walking at the same pace at the sometime.
