Linking Drama with Technology to learn core concepts
I happen to give key terms for a topic: Computer architecture and told them to research and make a mind map to discuss further. While the discussion started I had very limited participation from my class. So I changed it to an activity where students had to research and role-play particular key terms and introduce themselves as that character to the class. Wow....what a change in the dynamics of my class. I had students saying dialogues as Operating System, User Interface, Compiler and sharing their features. I due course the whole class was already ready with the understanding of the key terms and their basic concepts.
Feedback from students: Can we have more lessons like this?
Teacher: Thrilled to see positive responses even from the EAL students as they were allowed to perform in their native language.
