Week 7 – Drama

For this workshop, we read through a children’s book called “The Tunnel”.

We read half of the book and then had discussions in small groups. We used this story to practice role on the wall, as it was a good way for children to express what they thought the characters were felling and how others felt about the character. After doing this activity, we then read the rest of the book and seen how our views and opinions had changed once we knew the whole story. During this reflection, we were able to discuss any problems that children may face in relation to the characters in the book. We then did another freeze frame to explain the character’s thoughts and feelings.

This website was useful for finding more about role on the wall, and encouraged me to attempt it in the future with my own class. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/drama/responding/roleonwallrev1.shtml
