I had never thought about the use of drama being incorporated into a book like we did for our presentations. I think that using this aspect of art will be easy to integrate. Students love to get read to and to be able to do an activity with it would be even more fun. I liked the role playing that can be used. There are a lot of the ideas that allow the students to get up and get physically involved in the story being read.
I like that drama can be used for almost every subject in one way or another. It is just a matter of fitting it in, and then it will help with our lessons.
Integrated drama is important because it allows for movement, creativity, socializing, as well as knowledge to be shown and produced. Using creative drama in a classroom would make the subjects more fun and interactive for the student rather than just lecture after lecture.
It was fun to develop our process drama. We each took a part and contributed to the whole project. There were some ideas that when I was looking over them, didn't seem that fun. But as my group members and other groups incorporated them into the presentations I was able to see how fun and useful they really could be.
We all worked really well together, and we each took responsibility for our individual parts.

Talisha, I agree - drama really can be used for pretty much every subject you will teach, and the cool thing is that once you start integrating the arts, it becomes very natural and teachers who use them can't really imagine teaching any other way - so, I'm excited for your journey.
