Building Short Plays For The Classroom

By Tammie Caldwell


As a teacher, it is your job to make sure that your students would be able to learn wholistically. Keep in mind that if you would limit them to what can be found in their textbooks, then they would never be prepared for real life. If that would happen, then you would never feel fulfilled with your profession.

First of all, you will have to make a decision on which materials will bring fun to your classes. If you are teaching a novel, then you already have your answer for your short plays for the classroom. You can stick with the plot so that you will be able to give out some points that are important to the learning of your students.

Second, you would need to shorten the stories if you have to. Keep in mind that you cannot have plays all week long. Besides, everybody would have to be able to show their talent even if they only have a minimal role. If you would focus on that, then you would slowly gain the love of your students.

Third, you must play as the guide of your students. If they have never been good in memorizing things, then you must teach them the technique that you have been using all these years. If you will impart your knowledge to the future of the world, then you can say to yourself that you have not been so lazy in your work.

You have to allot the perfect time for practice. You should instill in the minds of your students that they should be able to give a good show. They should not waste the time of their fellow classmates since they are bound to be in the same situation as them later on. So, be sure that everybody comes prepared.

You have to provide them with the freedom to modify their lines. Remember that you are trying to bring out the creativity of these people. If you would not let them improvise when they are encountering a memory block, then you would not be enhancing their skills in that aspect.

You need to make sure that they have understood the entire story. If not, then you are a failure as a teacher. If you have to talk about the plot beforehand, then so be it. That is just a small sacrifice that you have to make in your part.

When it comes to the evaluation that you need to do, you will have to put yourself in the shoes of each one of your students. If you will perform that, then you will see that they have really exerted an effort in their roles. They have tried their best and that is what is essential.

Overall, you just need to be patient now more than ever. If you would be in that mode, then you would be an encouraging teacher instead of the exact opposite. When that happens, then you would be able to touch lives more than you can possibly imagine in your profession.
