Drama and education, and exciting International House session!


Peer pressure was the feeling we had to act, can you guess what the choice is? 
Our team who consisted of four individuals attended the training at International House this week. The lesson planned for the day was  unexpected but very exciting for us! We got together with a few of the other teachers in the house. 
Then Suzan started by putting a list of existing topics on the board. We were then divided into three groups and had to choose a topic for discussion.
It was really great and up building to see how everybody got together and exchange ideas and suggestions for the discussion. The fun part was when each group had to act out a scene that we wanted to present , and the rest of the teams had to identify the scenario. Afterwards we then had to identify and find solutions to the existing problem.

Everybody participated and such a lot of ideas were just flowing around. It was really an amazing lesson planned for us. We found that the lesson was something that we can definitely take back and use in our lesson planning.  All of us can use this encouraging information with the bigger grades as it is something that they are familiar with and are experiencing in the community!
