Answer to Question 2
Answers will vary.
Creative dramatics and literacy are built on the oral language base. Creative dramatics provides many opportunities for young children to use oral language as they prepare, plan, discuss, and cooperate on the theme and direction of the story. In creative dramatics, children learn how their ideas communicate with others while providing feedback of things that need improvement to make the process work better. Sometimes a story or book from literature will provide the stimulus for the creative drama, which helps children recognize how the story is shared in oral form. Drama can also lead to children reading about something that was shared or ideas researched to build their story. The connection between drama and literacy is powerful and provides meaningful experiences for young children who learn best when things are active and concrete.
