Adapt Now: Adapting Drama Classroom Materials to Different Distance Environments
by Lindsay Price, Matthew Webster, and Karen Loftus
Learn how to adapt things that were originally written for traditional classrooms to different environments.
Is your classroom shifting from a traditional in-person environment to a distance learning environment? Are you being asked to submit plans for social distancing? Are most of your students at home without regular access to the Internet or a computer? Whatever the scenario, adaptation is going to be key.
In this resource we will provide a number of adaptation examples for warm-ups, instruction methods, activities and exercises. Our goal is to adapt things that were originally written for traditional classrooms to different environments. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel with your curriculum. You can adapt, shift the focus, and continue to work on skills whether your students are virtual or socially distanced.
