CREATİVE DRAMA

I take elective lesson which is creative drama in this semester. It is very funny, favourable and good lesson. I learn new things and do new activity every week. This week we made the hot seat (sıcak sandalye) which is activity and victim was me. Before I did activity I enacted the child’s role. After I sat the seat my friends sat in front of me to ask the questions the child to recognize and his state of mind to solve. I answered without thinking as improvisation. My teacher says that the hot seat activity is being done in the schools. For example history teacher sits the seat in front of the students and say that I am Fatih Sultan Mehmet and you ask me all types of questions. He/she answer questions in this role. This method produces a more memorable. Especially this activity is more beneficial for children who do not like history. It attracts the attention of them and encourages learning. If there are teachers who use these types of activities children are very lucky. It has not inert idea and is more memorable. I wish I had teachers like that. I think all teachers should receive such education.
