Share Your Ideas!

More and more library media specialists in the state of Kentucky(and perhaps elsewhere) are finding themselves teaching drama. As a library media specialist, I received absolutely no training on teaching drama. I remember smiling and telling my principal "Yes, I can do that!" when she asked me to teach drama several years ago and I also remember the mild panic attack that occured after she left the room. How was I, a librarian with NO training or experience in the theater going to teach drama?

Now that I've been at it a while I am more comfortable with it, but I am always on the lookout for resources and ways to improve the lessons I present to my students, as I'm sure many of us are.

I know there are many wonderful, creative folks out there who teach drama to children, and you have a wealth of knowledge to share. I thought a colloaborative blog would be a great way for us to share our thoughts, ideas, lesson plans, success and failures with one another.

If you are a KY LMS or teacher who is involved with drama instruction in an elementary school setting, please consider becoming a contributor to this blog! Send an email to Kellie to get started.

Now...let's get the ideas flowing!
