This is what happens whenyou get students engaged:
Students act up. They get out of their chairs. They 'cause a ruckus.' There may be a dancing of some type involved. Funny hats are a bonus as well.
But, more importantly, the students enjoy themselves. They actually learn something. They can hear something, such as the previously intimidating words of Macbeth, in a completely different light. The words may dance off the pages as well and grow to make more sense.
Students experience that learning can be fun.

ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this! I actually signed on and laughed pretty hard when this is the first thing that came up. I highly enjoyed this lesson and totally agree with what you were saying that when students get involved in a lesson they enjoy themselves more!

I love this for a number of reasons! This class was so entertaining and every student was actively engaged! It is hard to think of a lesson that gets students this involved, especially with Shakespeare!
ReplyDeleteI could absolutely see myself using the modifications we implemented in my own classroom! (:
I thought that this was awesome. It was great to get everyone up and moving around, and learning about Shakespeare at the same time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting! :)
