Drama Queen

During today's CAS lesson, we were divided into groups and given the task to recreate a sheet with information on it from memory since the sheet was at one side of the gym and the scribe at the opposite side. This activity was going to help develop our creativity and communication skills, however, I don't think I took advantage of this opportunity to develop those skills since I didn't communicate enough in my opinion. I think our idea to each remember a bullet point on the sheet (there were 7 in total) was a good idea, however, when it came to telling the one scribe everything turned into a mess because of information overload so we could have planned what was going to happen in more depth e.g. we do one bullet point at a time and each memories a couple of words to recreate the sentence.

Another activity which involved creativity that I was involved in was drama. We were supposed to create a 2 minute drama speech about what we had learnt about the extended essay. Considering that the last exercise I didn't communicate a lot you can imagine that the same thing happened for this activity as well. I think that our group did well to come up with ideas and then pick one and practice on. We did well to improvise during the real thing since there wasn't much time allocated to us. I think that even though I wasn't given a large dialogue, I did well to try to act casually, imitating a class room atmosphere.

The next time we do such an activity, I will be sure to be more communicative so that my ideas are heard and that I can maximise my contribution.
