Strategy 1: Position Mapping

Ciao teachers, this drama strategy is easy to use, and can be integrated into any subject area. Position mapping is when you put a chair in the middle of the classroom, you ask the students to stand up and join around the chair. Then, ask a question about anything (for example, "how connected to you feel about the concept poverty". The students will then have to position themselves from the chair on how much they feel connected or how well they know that particular concept. I really love this drama strategy because it is easy and effective. As the teacher, you can see how the students a) feel about a situation, or subject area, or b) how well a student may know about something. For modifications, have student sit in the chair, and be the facilitator for the activity.
