The Mystery of the Pirate's Parrot: A Collaborative Adventure
Class experience
In this class students have fun working together to become characters, move and act out our adventure across an imaginary ocean to an island full of animals and pirate treasure. We collaborate to come up with and try ideas to solve our mystery. In addition to acting and storytelling, we will draw and share our ideas, make and follow a map, and learn some fun facts about parrots. Students will be given the opportunity to share ideas by messaging on the classroom page after class, including...
Students will develop arts skills, social skills and confidence as they invent and inhabit an "imaginary elsewhere" in dramatic play. Arts skills include using their bodies and faces to transform into a character, expressing original ideas through storytelling, drawing, acting, singing and dancing. This class is also aligned with age-appropriate science learning concepts, such as "Scientists ask questions," "Scientists base their ideas on evidence from the natural world," and "Scientists share their ideas with each other."
I love guiding young learners as they discover the power of their imaginations and the possibilities creative drama holds. There is such freedom in using this art form, in which no idea is wrong, and many roads lead to the solutions we seek. I have been a creative drama teacher for almost 30 years, and an actor and playwright for even longer. In recent years I have discovered that this type of learning lends itself wonderfully to an interactive online learning experience. My performing arts skills and teaching experience blossom together joyously as I create these creative drama classes. I look forward to sharing the experience with you!
