This week's Hook of the Week from Teach Like a PIRATE by Dave Burgess is The Dance and Drama Hook.
The Dance and Drama Hook allows you to incorporate a kinesthetic element into your lesson, as well as provide a creative outlet for your students.
Consider this...
- Can I provide the opportunity for my students to do skits or appear in videos related to what we are learning?
- Can they learn and perform a relevant dance?
- Can some of the students teach a dance to the class?
- Can they impersonate key people from history in a panel discussion or interview format?
- Can they write a script and create a video to pay for the class?
In what ways might you use dance or drama in your learning setting to engage your students or adult learners?
