Drama gives students an avenue to express themselves through storytelling and role play which provides an outlet for

developing important
communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and creative skills. The ability to create imaginary worlds opens limitless connections for students to learn
important concepts and facts through the lens of drama.

In this semester students thought about post by using the dramatic method of mantle of the expert to put students at the center of their learning, students
used what they had learned about lifecycles to improvise a puppet show on insects and practiced their newly acquired English reading skills through the
reading of a variety of scripts and poems.
