 An Opportunity You Wish You Had

After carrying so much experience on a specific subject (Drama), my friends and I were invited to create the starting point of expanding the learning experience of Process Drama. It enhances the vocabulary of youthful minds and allows them to produce expressive pieces. 

Several lengthy practices later, we were ready to teach at Stonefields Primary School. Arriving at the school, our voices drained from the laughs and tunes we shared in the car with a fellow teacher of ours. 

Reaching the gates, I was in awe and intimidated. Rambunctious children were crazed over in the park and teachers chatting oblivious of the time. This had silenced me into my thoughts of anxiousness. My palms were already sweating nearly forging a hole in my script. 

Finally reaching our brightly cluttered hub, I was again in shock by the learning environment these lucky students had to learn in. Setting up our group was practicing and playing around, exploring the class, and sweating our palms till our papers could rip. Though so many joyful jokes and laughs changed the atmosphere slightly relieving us of our anxiousness until our students arrived. One of us introduced who we were. I started off with the convention of Themes, a simple way to express the vocab in the minds relating to specific words. After being the first person my confidence in ourselves grew all the way to the end of the movie. The movie wasn't long, it was called the Yellow Umbrella a story of sacrifice. The rest of the conventions were amazing! and absolutely fun. 

Then came the last part, a Q&A regarding Process Drama. We got to express our emotions about the subject and tips to help students get familiar with this process. At the end of the day, I loved it and man would I accept any opportunity like this again! it was extremely fun especially with the people I spent this spontaneous event with.
