Today in drama we ‘enacted’ the life cycle of a plant!
We began with a story “I’m a Seed” by Jean Marzollo.
After reading the story of two seeds (marigold and pumpkin) and their “lives”, we reviewed the steps in their lives and drew a diagram on the board that included:
Then the acting began. We had to use only our bodies to be all the parts of the plant as it grew and changed throughout it’s life. It was a great experience for us all.
We are working on:
DRAMA:
- demonstrating a willingness to explore ideas through drama games and activities
- using drama exploration to show sequence
- working in role to imagine and play characters from stories or
real life events - using movement elements and their bodies to explore
representation of action (e.g., brushing your teeth, a dog
chasing a ball, blowing out candles, growing from a seed to a
tree) - finding and using their own personal space throughout the
drama activity
