Write a reflective paper in which you review five best practices that you learned about in this class that you plan to implement as a teacher. You will need to provide a description of the practice, how you will implement it, and why you will implement it. Please format your paper with a heading for each practice that states the practice to be discussed. You do not need to include an introductory paragraph or a concluding paragraph.
Best Practice: Using Creative Dramatics (Chapter 10)
Description of Practice: Creative dramatics is a practice of having the students actively participate in the learning experience by participating in dramatic play, role play, simulations, and mock trials. Dramatic play is…
Implementation of Practice: I will use at least one of these types of creative dramatics with each unit. I will plan for this at the start of each unit and use it as a culminating activity. I provide specific topics for students to select from that are based on the TEKS and objectives from the different lessons in the unit. I will…
Why This Practice: I will use this practice because it will support various types of learners in the classroom (kinesthetic learners, hands-on, visual, interpersonal). This is a student based learning activity that students would find enjoyable and engaging. Furthermore, it is collaborative which supports an important skill that students need to learn.
Description: Creative dramatics is a form of self-expression that encourages children to use improvisational drama techniques to explore their emotions, thoughts, and ideas. It allows them to express themselves in imaginative ways while developing problem solving skills (McFarlane & McInerney 2017).
Implementation: As a teacher I plan to implement creative dramatics in my classroom by providing opportunities for students to explore different roles through dramatic play. This can be done by incorporating activities such as role playing and improvisation into daily lessons or setting aside time for students to engage in free play activities within the classroom. Additionally, I will provide resources such as costumes, props and puppets which can help enhance the experience for the children. Lastly, I will ensure that there is sufficient space available for students to move about freely and safely during these activities.
Reason: The main reason why I plan on implementing creative dramatics is because it ultimately helps foster an environment where students feel safe enough to express themselves without fear of judgement. It also teaches them important problem solving skills that they may need later on when faced with difficult situations. Moreover, it allows children who are often shy or reluctant learners to become more engaged in their learning process as they are able to take part in interactive experiences which draw out their creativity (McFarlane & McInerney 2017). In conclusion, using creative dramatics provides numerous benefits both educationally and emotionally thus making it worth considering when creating lesson plans.
understudies. Given the expected worth of such figures propelling scholastic achievement and hence impacting results like maintenance, wearing down, and graduation rates, research is justified as it might give understanding into non-mental techniques that could be of possible benefit to this populace (Lamm, 2000) . Part I: INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY Introduction The country is encountering a basic lack of medical care suppliers, a deficiency that is supposed to increment in the following five years, similarly as the biggest populace in our country’s set of experiences arrives at the age when expanded clinical consideration is essential (Pike, 2002). Staffing of emergency clinics, centers, and nursing homes is more basic than any time in recent memory as the enormous quantities of ‘people born after WW2’s start to understand the requirement for more continuous clinical mediation and long haul care. Interest in turning into a medical caretaker has disappeared as of late, presumably because of the historical bac
