Dialogue and Drama lesson

Hi guys, just a few comments about the Dialogue and Dramma lesson. Since most of the activities and resources that we were provided with are as useful as interesting from my point of view, I would like to mention just a couple of them to keep in mind for my next lesson programs. Firstly, the lead-in activity before watching the video. We were given the first part of the conversation written and we had to guess information about where, who and what the video consisted on. This helps students be aware of what may happen in the story, although they may be wrong; which is the funniest part. The second one focuses on the simple fact of showing a photo which leads to start a sparkly debate. Telling the students they are going to debate about whether the teacher should eat a piece of cake doesn't produce the same effect on them as showing them a photo of a delicous piece of cake, or even you can bring a real piece of cake, why not? An image can help a lot sopporting some activities and making them more entertaining.

    I also liked that we had to think of an angel and devil sitting on her shoulder and telling her what to do, because I think it makes it easier for the students to find arguments if the pretend to be one of the two. We could also apply this idea to other topics.

    ...staring at that cake was in fact almost as tasting it, Ana, you are so right! And I liked the idea that Luca was interacting with us physically moving from one side to the other...really catchy!
