Teaching with Dramatized Experiences

“ All dramatization is essentially a process of communication, in which both participant and spectators are engaged. A creative interaction takes place, a sharing of ideas.”

- Edgar Dale

Formal  Dramatized Experience

Less Formal Dramatized Experiences

FORMAL DRAMATIZED EXPERIENCES

• Play- Depict life, character, or culture

or  combination of all three.

• Pageant- Usually community dramas that

are based on local history, presented by local actors.

Less Formal Dramatized Experiences

• Pantomime – is the art of conveying a

story through bodily movements only.

• Tableau – (French word means PICTURE)

is a picture-like scene composed of people against a background.

•  Puppets – Unlike the regular stage play, can

present ideas with extremely simplicity, without elaborate scenery or costume, yet effective.

As an instructional device, the puppet show can involve the entire group of students- as speakers of parts, manipulators of the figures and makers of the puppets.

TYPES OF PUPPETS

Shadow Puppets

Rod Puppets

Hand Puppets

Glove and Finger Puppets

Marionettes

• Shadow Puppetsflat black silhouette made

from light-weight cardboard and shown behind a screen.

• Rod Puppets-Flat cut out figures tacked to a

stick, with one or more movable parts, and operated from below the stage level by wire rods or slender sticks.

• Hand puppets-the puppets head is

operated by the forefinger and thumb being used to animate the puppet hands.

• Glove-and-finger Puppetsmake use of old

gloves to which small costumed figure are attached.

• Marionettes-flexible, jointed puppets

operated by strings or wires attached to a cross bar and maneuvered from directly above the stage.

Other Puppet Ideas

• Stocking puppets

• Silhouettes makes good shadow puppets

• Cardboard face on a stick is excellent for lower-grade children

• Cardboard face fastened to a band on pupils head

PUPPET THEATRES

Suggestions of the Puppeteers• Do not use puppets for

plays that can be done just as well or better by dramatic mean.

• Puppet plays must be based on action rather than on words.

• Keep the play short.• Do not omit possibilities

of music and dancing as part of the puppet show.

• Adapt the puppet show to the age, background, and tastes of the  students.

• Role Playing

It can be done  by describing  a situation which would create different viewpoints on an issue and then asking the students to play the roles of the individuals involved.
