Act & Learn School Displays - Slideshow

Here are some photos of displays based on previous drama work I and my colleges at school have done with our students.
As you will be able to see, aesthetic perfection is not what we are looking for. We want the children to be the ones making the decisions throughout the process, taking control.
I have added a short comment to most of them to contextualize them within the learning process.
What we always have to try is, in my opinion, to make sure that it is the children themselves who are in charge of the creative proccess and fully understand the connections between the different activities surrounding the theme in order to acquire a deeper and more meaningful understanding of it.



When we work on a topic, we try to do it with an interdisciplinary approach, by working on it in more than one content area, specially in art, english and science, which are the curriculm subjects we teach in english.

The photos can also be seen in the Act & Learn School Displays Photo Flick.
