Guided Drama is a unique combination of storytelling and creative dramatics. It is a process whereby the students are immediately immersed in a set of given cirvumstances. Within the given time, place & situation, participants will play various roles. They will enact a story or create an original scene improvisationally.
As they become more involved in the drama-making, participants are stimulated to use their imaginations and senses in creating scenes. Often, they will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with other student.
After the drama, students may process their experiences in different ways: writing a new ending to the scenario, telling what happened before the story, creating the story from a different perspective... Perhaps, the students might be motivated to enact other scenes. Hopefully, they will be inspired to read other pieces of literature in the same genre.
