Short

I really enjoyed the reading in the Kist book this week! I loved that fact that the "short" chapter was packed full of activity ideas for the classroom. These activities were really interesting too! The one that I liked because it can apply to any classroom, and not just for use of different literacies, was the snapshot or tableaux drama activity. In this activity the students have to portray a scene or poem etc. in front of the class using their body. Kist pointed out that after this activity the students got a lot more comfortable opening up in the classroom environment which is always an important thing to establish!
