Introduce your class to drama! You cast each pupil as a different character from a story you have read. They are given a general outline of the scene, act out the scene multiple times, then discuss the weak and strong aspects of each rehearsal. Older classes can take this lesson a step further by analyzing theme through the characters' actions.
