CREATIVE DRAMA

The cast walk past and across each other's paths in no particular order. When the student reads/recites his/her line he/she comes up front, slows, stops, raises head, says line and recedes into background, joining the rest of the group. Students should dress for their particular part and can use appropriate body language.

The following text can be used for Holocaust Day -

EXAMPLE: (Teachers should encourage class to add more sentences )

1. When we arrived at the camp we had to take off all our clothes.

2. Our clothes were thrown on one pile and our shoes on another one.

3. We then walked into the next room completely naked.

4. Here we were given our number.

5.The Nazi commandant lashed out at us and said:

6. From now on you are all numbers.

7. You have no identity.

8. You have no place of origin.

9. All you have is a number.
 
 
Can be followed by a reading of the poem by Anna Sotto "A 6 8 9 3 "
