Teaching with Dramatized Experiences
Dramatized experience can range from the formal plays,pageants to less formal tableau pantomime, puppets and role-playing.
PLAYS depict life, character, or culture or a combination of all three.
PAGEANTS are usually community dramas that are based on local history, presented by local actors.an example is a historical pageant that traces the growth of a school. Play and pantomime require much time for preparation and so cannot be part of everyday classroom program.
A PANTOMIME is the "art of conveying a story through bodily movements only."
A TABLEAU is a picture-like scene composed of people against a background. A tableau is often used to celebrate Independence Day, United Nations Day.
We learn certain things quickly through an intense dramatic experience. These dramatic experience, most especially role-playing are most effective with lessons in the affective domain.
A play is a all right but with all the ground we have to cover, we haven't time to use it. We use instead the other forms of dramatic experience that do not need very elaborate preparations.
