I had the students come up in pairs and have a "conversation" on the drum. No talking was allowed. When they finished, the class was asked to try and classify what kind of conversation they were having. Was it friendly? Argumentative? What do you think they were talking about? Did they wait for each other to finish what they were "saying" before "talking" themselves? Some of this was prep for an upcoming trip to the Museum of the Moving Image to see a Charlie Chaplin movie. Otherwise, it was just good plain practice of identifying how we can communicate more effectively and raising awareness of how to do so. Comments are closed.
