Hejsan Teachers, this next drama strategy could work very well with older students. I would recommend this activity for junior and intermediate grades. News report is through a mock news report, characters deliver information about a person or event to an audience. Puppets are great props to use for this strategy. This drama activity is great to integrate into other subject areas such as history, social studies, science,and language. You can have the students create a report on what there currently learning in class in any of those subjects. For example, after a history lesson, have them create a news report of what occurred in the war of 1812. I found this strategy to be one of the most entertaining and humorous activity out of them all. It allows students not only to be knowledgeable about the content being presented, but allows them to be creative and funny. To modify this strategy, allow students to present behind a blanket or desk, that way they feel comfortable. Also, have the script already written and rehearsed.
