Week 4: Drama and Social Studies


Gallery Walk 1 & 2



Tableaux from Gallery Walk


Tableaux (Rollercoaster)
Curriculum Connections:
Social Studies: A1.3 compare some of the past and present traditions and celebrations of different ethnocultural groups in their local community, and identify some of the main reasons for the change (Grade 2)

Drama: B1.1 engage in dramatic play and role play, with a focus on exploring main ideas and central characters in stories from diverse communities, times, and places (Grade 2)



Reflection: 
This lesson is effective because it reflects Gunther Kress' Multimodalities Theory. Using drama allows students to make meaning and communicate by multiple modes of expression; the most prominent being gestural, this lesson also includes visuals (the images); auditory (communication); linguistic (readings from the Gallery Walk); and spatial (using the space and relationships between partners). Using multimodalities allows students to express themselves in many ways that enhance their learning.
