There is nothing better for students than playing theatre scenes and even putting up a show. It gives them confidence in speaking, it makes them feel good about themselves, and it creates a positive atmosphere among the group. However, putting on a show is understandably a step too far for most busy teachers,
Fortunately there is a middle ground. This workshop introduces a range of classroom activities which are easy to prepare and which will get your students speaking and acting in class in a very natural way.
