| During Jane Powell’s class, we were listeners, producers, directors, actors, observers and players. First, we concentrated on listening to Jane Powell and held our breath while she was narrating the story. Then we had a lively discussion about the story in groups of four. We assigned ourselves roles according to the story. After being well prepared, we presented our mime performances. While one group was performing, the other groups were watching. We 16 students were divided into four groups. Though our performances were not perfect, in a way, it revealed our imagination and our thinking. We all shared the same sense that drama is one of the best ways to develop the students?stimulation and the students?interest in learning English. Following the presentation, students were required to write something about their most favourite character, in five minutes. When we all had finished writing, we sat in a circle reading our sentences, which we thought were wonderfully written, describing the character we had chosen. Before the end of the class, Jane Powell asked the four groups to design a statue of Moy. Each group designed a different Moy statue and chose a person to act as the statue of Moy. At last, Jane Powell asked us how we felt about the drama class. We all said that we felt quite emotional, motivated, comfortable, and enthusiastic. Through the whole class, all of us showed great interest in Jane Powell’s narration and the drama play as well. We all took an active part in participation, full of passion and motivation. We pretended to take the roles of Moy and Moy’s family, which seemed to have brought us back to the remote village in China and the city of Vancouver more than 100 years ago. It seemed that we had had a true life. We felt emotions of success, pride, sadness and misfortune. Our feelings and our emotions were in conflict. By performing, we further understand the meaning of the story. 2.3.2 Class 2—Learning Skills Time: October 29, 1:00pm—3:30pm Place: Room 362 AE Building, UCC Participants: 25 education students of the University College of the Cariboo Teachers: Jane Powell and Joi Freed-Garrod, one of UCC assistant professors On the afternoon of October 29, all the education students were dressed up. They looked very fancy. Each group presented a different performance in the mode of drama. Because of the time limit, we could enjoy only three of five performances. Among them, there were appropriate communication, silent bullying and collaborative learning. After each performance, the observers raised questions and the players gave their opinion. If necessary, Joi and Jane asked the players questions too. After watching the performances, the observers were quite clear what should be done and how things are done well. They were concentrated and motivated. Not only the players, but also the observers engaged themselves in challenging and constructive discussion. 3.
