ESL Six Class 4 -- Freewrite Cumulatively Written into a Poem --NYU Teachers: Theme--Working Together

 How can theatre help us to learn how to problem solve and work together?

Empathizing--Understanding, A Cumulative Poem by ESL/6 Class 4 Students

In theater, students can see the problems and see what is going on and students can guess what is going on,
Theatre can help us work together and to represent and/or recreate a problems to see that we may have common ideas on how to fix the situations,
Theater shows us what can happen everyday,
Theater shows us what kind of people we really are,
Theater allows us to talk,
Once we see a problem in theater, it might help us to be careful if it happens again,
Theater teaches us to listen to each other and shows us how to act and respect others to stop the violence in our world, and in the world,
Theater shows us many examples,
Theatre shows us peaceful ways of solving problems,
Theatre teaches us creativity, which helps us to think of other ways to teach and learn,
Theatre hels us calm down, and its funny
It helps us find solutions,
We see problems in school, home, with friends -- it's interesting to see what someone is really thinking, and in turn, we can have a better understanding for what is going on,
We can relate to problems when we are acting,
We can freeze the moment and listen--
To make ideas, we can think together ... to find peace
