Sharing Messages with Children

Today in Drama, we shared stories from children books and looked at some political satire.

We started with looking into political satire, we looked mainly into songs and videos joking about politicians. There was even one called Donald: The Musical, it represented satire about Donald Trump, obviously, Kellyanne Conway, Sean Spicer and a man named Bruce B. who I don't the full name of because I don't know politicians.
We also shared stories from the books we had brought in, Nadia had one that was made for her called 'Nadia the Dinosaur', Chloe brought in multiple including 'Rough Weather Ahead for Walter the Farting Dog', yes that is a real children's book, and Willbee the Bumblebee. We have looked into these because we are trying to create a play that will keep children interested but still be fun enough for them to laugh at.
We also talked about what conventions we could use and we thought about things such as rhyming, singing, using humour and doing other things to help engage the children and help them remember the plot.
