Earned something?
I was wondering that what am I going to see in this course and tutorial class? First of all, for me, briefly we met with ancient Greek drama and varieties. We are able to recognize some features of the drama in early, middle and modern drama. And also now we now stage, character theme and so on features are in our mind. The important thing in this course is now we know how we can rejoice in drama for teaching. For example we are able to exploit drama, play shortly literature teaching English. We don’t just learn what drama, theatre, character so on is, we also learn how we can use this art to teach English. This is an important element for teaching.
At the beginning of the course my first impression was not really good for the course but day by day I start to discover new side of the drama or theatre and I got to know how important it is. In the class for example we learn to analyze a play. We spent nearly more than one month for Oedipus play. During this time we did learn many things. We are able to identify character, theme, and other features of drama such as what is the irony and where it occurs in the play what is moral value. Other than this we also read some short plays from now read on. In tutorial class also we found chance to act these plays. We were divided into the groups and choose one character to perform. Taking action is important to feel real essence of the play. Some of the short plays were quite interesting and enjoyable, I also enjoy during the actions. The ring doesn’t fit, the ring, selfish Mr. Pederson were some of the interesting texts. When I took those text and we were asked to read and contribute which is good, why? and which is not, why? At first I was asking myself why do we read and analyze, what is the purpose of it, but now I got a good idea now, it is really helpful and important to teach as a material or an art. At the begging I was considering this course extra burden headache among all busy subjects, but now whatever we learn are really useful for us.

Mehmet, I do personally agree with you that we have learnt a lot through this course. At the beginning of this, I also did have a kind of same impression and thinking as you are. I thought this would be another teaching literature course that I just have to go through, with or without the pain. I didn’t expect to be enjoying this as I am not very deep into dramas as compared to short stories. Nonetheless, at the end of this course now, my point of view on this course has changed somehow. I not only managed to cope with it, but also enjoyed it thoroughly. So I hope this experience will enlighten all of us more as we go on further in our studies here in UPM. Cheers!
