From the Ministry of Ontario resources, I found a video clip of a drama presentation by a group of high school students who decided to explore what makes them engaged or disengaged in their learning. Initially, their teacher asked them to write down their thoughts in response to 4 simple prompts:
I need...
I don’t need…
The best…
The worst…
From only their responses the students created a performance that reflected their feelings about school. Throughout the process, assessment as learning occurred as they discovered which factors support and hinder their academic performance, and they gained a better understanding of the teacher's perspective.
Watching this video can also help educators appreciate some of the needs of their students and the challenges that they face. It also shows how drama can be used as a self- and peer-assessment tool.
