Christine,As I was reading your article, all I could think about was how important it is for every student to learn the basic skills of Drama. Drama teaches students confidence, eye contact, how to engage your audience, how to use the inflection of your voice (pauses, pitch, tone), body language (which can be very important even in a job interview), how to use props (if necessary) to accentuate a point, how to work individually as well in groups etc. It’s a shame that not enough time gets devoted to this important subject area.
Without getting too in depth about the topic, many political figures gain success due to their presentation/drama skills. Look at Jesse Ventura, Arnold Schwarzenegger and so many others. Weather they can back up their political promises, is a another issue……for another discussion board :)
