Reflection #9

1. Do the skills you acquired from your membership in the Performing Arts Guild help
you become dramatic in your lessons?
Something dramatic is something that is stirring or affecting or moving. If our
teaching is dramatic, our students get attracted, interested and affected. If they are
affected and moved we will most likely leave an impact on them. These are what we call
dramatic experiences. Dramatized experiences can range from the formal plays,
pageants to less formal tableau, pantomime, puppets and role playing.
Skills acquires in membership in guilds like Performing Arts Guild can help us
conceptualizing and integrating dramatized experiences in our lessons. In this way we
can leave long lasting impact to our students.
2. As a teacher, throughout the day you are called upon to be an actor or actress. In
what sense?
Teaching is a lot like acting, a high-energy, performance profession that requires
a person to act as a role model. Students will be more engaged and behave better
when educators teach with enthusiasm, using acting techniques such as physical and
vocal animation, role-playing, and the use of suspense and surprise.
3. The word pageant is used also when we refer to Miss Universe pageant. Does the
word pageant have the same meaning as given in this lesson?
Beauty pageants are different from the pageant in teaching with dramatized
experience. A beauty pageant or beauty contest is a competition that has traditionally
focused on judging and ranking the physical attributes of the contestants, also it
incorporates personality traits, intelligence, talent, and answers to judges' questions.
On the other hand, in education, Pageants are usually community dramas that
are based on local history, presented by local actors. An example is a historical pageant
that traces the growth of a school.
