WORKSHOPS

GETTING DRAMATIC!!

Using stories and drama games, Jo teaches students how to develop and strengthen communication skills using the 4 P’s:

Pronounce (teaching kids to speak clearly)

Project (teaching kids to speak up)

Poise (teaching kids to speak confidently)

Personality (teaching kids to speak with spunk)

Students that get the 4 P’s feel better about asking and answering questions, participating in class discussions and presentations, and public speaking. A student presentation of a popular picture book is done as a culminating activity. (Grades K and up)
