Learning Observed

During iExperience this term with the Strategic Leadership Team (SLT), we have been learning how to use movement and space to effectively communicate.  The lasting understanding is that people represent their culture and heritage in different dramatic ways- past and present.  Learners had a variety of opportunities to explore the use of space, props and their body for communicating different ideas.  Shaun worked in a group with Divya, Alysia, Johanna and Jarad to use dramatic techniques to explore drama elements and conventions and exhibited enthusiasm for performing when asked to initiate and develop ideas with others to create a dramatic 1 minute skit about a culture.Shaun was engaged and participated in the process with the group.
