The main reasons of teaching using drama is that drama can be effectively used in the book stage of the child book child approach.
In subjects like in Religious and Moral Education,Social Studies,Laguages etc the dramatisation from a good story made reference to teach pupils the required moral values.
After dramatisation the teacher can then lead pupils to the last child stage which is the evaluation or the application stage. Where pupils make their own decisions based on the story dramatised.
There are certain rules necessary to be observed when using drama these are:
Ensure the actors face the audience ,when speaking should do so audibly and don't exaggerate actions or even do other things unecessary to the activities of the drama. The learners must be assured to always learn from the drama and not to be over excited, otherwise they miss the purpose of the drama. Drama must meet the needs of the lesson objectives. And then always derole the characters after the play by discouraging other classmates from calling them in names of actors they used in the drama.
The benefits of drama are that it is enjoyable way of teaching and learning. Drama breaks the tension of serious methods and makes vividy in the learners ' minds.This helps pupils to remember and allows creativity as they develop it in their imagination.
Drama develops language skills ,improve pupils to pupils and teacher to pupils relationathips.Children build confidence in acting and nurture their talent for future careers in areas of public speaking ,film stars,movies soaps etc.
The drawbacks identified to be associated with dramatisatisation are that the learners may easily take it as intertainment than as a learning stiuations and thereby learning nothing, drama can easily stray from what is intended. Children can acquire unpopular nicknames which may results in invading their future participation . More so a lot of time is required in both preparation and presentation.Hence it can not be used frequently. Drama involves few pupils and if the actors are passive the lesson can be boring.
