LO3 Initiative and plan an experience – Middle School Drama

From season 2 I’m participating in the 3rd – 5th grade drama production process. The idea is largely in an experimental status right now, both the teachers and us (Grade 11 mentors) are just trying to figure it out how and what could work, because neither of us have done anything like this before.

We are working with approximately 60 students and after the warming ups ( which is run by the teachers ) we have to guide them how to put on their own little production. We have 15 in one groups and we can ‘do whatever we want’. At the first occasion, it was slightly uncomfortable as with the new freedom we didn’t have any plan how to do things, we had to look totally confident while we were coming up with the next move and activity at that moment.

Even though, it can be intimidating sometimes, it’s super interesting and fun to learn how to cooperate with younger students, try to make this experience the best for them and see how much we are able to create together.
