How are we going to do it?


Well, this is a question I get every year. Wow, Mr. Craig all those ideas sound great, but how you gonna do it? Well, that is when I describe some methods to what we have going on. I would like to address some of the classes we are going to be doing weekly.

Drama class is one that I am excited about because not only will it give our staff some stretching to do, but our kids as well. I have myself taken drama classes and used drama as part of team building for class and camp staffs. They are two ways we are going to do our drama classes one is picture book drama. How do we do that? Kids at any age are introduced to a picture book that they will then discuss and then act out with the direction and supervision of our camp staff. Another method is call brown bag dramas, in this method a class will be given a brown paper bag with different items in it. The class will then have to rely on creativity and a bit of improv. to come up with a story and a small play to show us all on Friday afternoon. Input from the staff will be important, but the end goal will to have given the students involved a feeling of how it feels to do a little theatre.

(Next time I will discuss my thoughts on music class.)
