Drama in practicum

I was able to use drama in my practicum. The photo is a lesson I did during my practicum using the Black Eyed Peas song, "Where is the Love". If you look closely you might be able to see some 'bling bling' I was able to get my hands on... I also did a drama lesson on the re-enactment of Hammurabi law. I found the use of drama to be extremely effective. It captured students' attention and helped them better comprehend concepts. I also found that student self-esteem increased - sometimes I thought I could actually see a student become more confident while they were role playing an aspect of Mesopotamian life - and that students did extremely well on the unit test section where they explained how Hammurabi law was simlar/different to Candian law. Perhaps drama could be used as an effective review? I found that students made more meaningful connections to concepts that were included in dramatization.
