maths

history
arrived at Drama
sanctuary for some
utopia for others
unusually large number of students in this class
love drama to the max
devour activities at lightning speed
always wanting more
nothing special in my teaching
just lucky
dynamics is king
place them in groups with their friends
hope for the best
watch
watch
watch more
no one left out in the cold
shy students looked after
loud students accommodated
haven’t seen bullying all term
doesn’t anyone want to misbehave?
quality of work increases
as students leech off others
wanting to excel
helicopter teaching is the worst
teach them the skills
empower students
facilitate from the side
interrupt a scene in rehearsal
and get told to leave!
we’re rehearsing!
off they go again
suddenly
i’m bored in my own classroom
lesson’s about to end
some have finished rehearsing
a small group having fun
with Indian accents in the corner
the Indian girl is teaching her group
others give it a try
it’s all drama, yeah?
laughter
time to finish class
most of them don’t want to leave
a student suggests one whole day a week
should just be drama class
they go home and talk
drama
drama
drama
to their parents
who think they are only studying
one subject this semester
who said school sucks?
not if you’ve planned
the great escape
to Drama

I disagree. I read it to my Narrative Methods class and they loved it!
