Pain and Passion

Pain and Passion was a strong topic. The class was divided into pairs to fasten on a 50-minute lesson linking with pain and passion. Two turn techniques had to be introduced. After each(prenominal) lesson a five minute debrief took place. We were given two lessons of training time and had to work to a time plan.I knew it would take a lot of effort to run a lesson. I chose a local issue sparking off lots of strong opinions. My lesson was about spontaneous abortion. I tangle it tied in rise with pain and passion. The pain being a childs life was at risk due to the night of passion.I wasnt rootage to lead the class so I listened attentively to what criticism was target for contendd during the debrief. I learnt from others mistakes. One of the things I found was that a lesson should be expressed by dint of different scenarios, keeping the classs attention.I set the photo with a young couple, Sarah and Jake, who were in a crisis. The crisis being, should have an abortion or no t.The first variance of my timeplan was explaining the situation and then asking the class to establish, what verbalise of mind Sarah was in. The ideas were to be expressed through stylistic manoeuvre utilize unmatchable drama technique or more. In other lessons more time was stageed out on planning helping to produce true drama pitchs from the class. I decided to have more time spent on planning rather than performing.The second part consisted of what if Sarah had the abortion or didnt. In each scenario there had to be a wakeless and hurtful side. The good side of having or not having the abortion was to be shown through dream sequence and the bad side of having or not having the abortion shown through nightm atomic number 18 sequence.I thought I planned my lesson closely considering I was on my own.I wasnt prepared for the lesson I took the class. I had forgotten my watch and my partner was away leaving me to be the teacher. One benefit can be to go over my planning strategies.I relaxed and turn to the class with a BBC accentThe first piece of drama was on Sarahs state of mind. The class planned their pieces quite well only if the pieces were dead giving me more time. One base had only four people. many another(prenominal) people think more people in a free radical make a better drama piece. This group proved it wrong.The drama piece was very distinctive. The other groups showed one feeling passim their drama. This play showed how Sarah was happy at the thought of being a mother and wistful at the thought of having a child to bring up. As the teacher I was able to see abortion through other peoples eyes. severally student had a major role to play especially female horse as Sarah. Its really hard to change expressions every second but she made it look so slowly. Everyone got involved and this boosted my confidence as a teacher to see that they were enjoying the lesson.The other half of the lesson went perfectly. The class had to use th e drama techniques I set, dream and nightmare sequence. Everyone performed well due to good planning.Scarlets group did a nightmare sequence about Sarahs life with a baby. It was a negative outlook on having children. There were strong ideas expressed throughout the play. The audience was able to see how having a baby at a young age was stressing and sometimes left with no financial or emotional support. It was an excellent piece of drama.I think I showed good teaching skills. I was quite patient but I matte it was quite difficult to keep the class quiet even when face lifting my voice. I went round to see if there were any problems and keeping form of time, which is a vital part of teaching. One of the hardest things was the way I had to deal out the class. I had to rate out of the role of a friend and step in as a teacher. When it came to commenting on a drama piece I had to use excellent rather than wicked. The lesson was very packed with things to do and this rank off a fe w students from working. In future I would wispy everything down slightly.Apart from that everything went according to plan.Rochelle and Yasmins lesson was very valuable. Rochelle explained everything whilst Yasmin organised the lesson. Yasmin is normally the quieter one but in her lesson she was very confident. Their topic was about war. War is believably what the news is all about. There is so much of it, people are forgetting about those in need. The main theme of the lesson was we should be grateful for how well off we are and think about others before worrying over small problems.The lesson began with a piece about a boy escaping from war to a new area. I took on the main role as the boy. We were playing basketball when I got the ball and everyone was telling me to shoot. We used flashbacks to show how the boy was told in his homeland to kill his own flesh and blood. We were demo the pressures of war. I was very enthusiastic about everything.Next we did hotseating. We questi oned people part of the army in Africa. We asked why many boys were forced to go to war. It sparked a lot of debating.Rochelle and Yasmin were good teachers. I enjoyed myself whilst I was learning. They were role models for good teachers.I think being a teacher was a worthwhile experience. sometimes we forget to realise what teachers do to provide good education. This topic was a good way to see that teaching is not as easy as it may look. It takes a lot of hard work and ampere-second% commitment.Through this topic I have more respect for teachers.
