Each student is unique and an individual, and they each have different needs and learning styles. I do believe that the arts belong in the schools and that it is an important part for students' learning. A lot of students are visual learners and so if I can incorporate that into the curriculum through drama or visual art then the kids will be better off.
I have learned so much this semester and I know that I have never been a real big drama person, but after those two weeks and seeing the activities and games that we learned about, I think it would be fun and at times can be a de-stresser for students.
So my plan of action is to start watching out for activities that I feel would benefit students, and I plan to get a wide variety because one class is never the same from another. I already have many lesson plans in the dance section that I can use, but I would love to find more for drama and music. Music will be a fun one because if I can incorporate a learning topic into a song for my students to learn then I believe they will retain the information better, plus it definitely works out the creativity of my brain.
