Arts Education - Drama

Daily journals are particularly effective when working in dramatic situations. Sometimes when students aren't voicing opinions during the drama, writing will provide them with the opportunity to express their ideas. Journals are also an invaluable tool during evaluation, whether they are actually handed in or used as a reminder during conferences with the teacher. Guidelines for the use of journals in drama class and their role in student assessment should be established during the first class of the year.
