Learning in "dramation" is useful not only for speeches and presentations, but also for cultivating the power that is indispensable for surviving with Corona in the future.
On February 2021, 2, which is the final class of "Dramation", based on the two classes already held, the theme of the work was decided based on the educational philosophy of the school, and multiple scenes were selected from there, and the group In cooperation, we will present drama work such as "three-dimensional picture book" that composes and three-dimensionalizes the scene as a "still image" in the class.
Kota Kotaku (Civil History and Civil Affairs), the coordinator of this comprehensive study, said, "The effects of the coronavirus are expected to continue for a long time. Through drama, you can learn how to build good relationships and feel comfortable. I want you to improve your living environment.
