Discuss the new concept in the creative arts


1.The distinction between sociodramatic play and creative dramatics is that:

  • Sociodramatic play involves pretend activities; creative dramatics involves real life events
  • Sociodramatic play involves fantasy; creative dramatics involves a script
  • Sociodramatic play involves pretend activities; creative dramatics is a more complex activity
  • Sociodramatic play is more structured than creative dramatics

2. The dramatic arts involve three of Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences. 

  • Kinesthetic, spatial and linguistic
  • Logical, naturalistic and dramatic
  • Existential, modernistic and artistic
  • Intrapersonal, extra personal and interpersonal

3. One of the strengths of creative drama is the opportunity for small group work. In drama, children can:

  • Plan ahead so they will not need to learn to think on their feet
  • Interact and communicate to create a community of ideas, images, and actions
  • Focus on developing a monologue so they will not have to adjust to others
  • Prepare a speech to present before an audience

4. The long term benefits of creative drama include:

  • Independent thinking, problem-solving, collaboration skills
  • Empathy for others, development of imagination, expanding oral language
  • developing values, understanding of self, learning to make decisions
  • All of the above

5. A simple way to involve children in nonthreatening drama experiences is to use participation stories. These are stories that have: 

  • chants, sound effect, and repeated phrases
  • Have lines for children to memorize
  • Invite children to participate
  • A and C

6. Geraldine Siks, a leading authority on children's drama, believes that young children up to the age eleven should:

  • Participate only in informal drama
  • Learn to perform a play perfectly for parents to enjoy
  • Learn to recite memorized lines
  • Understand complex plots and character development

7. According to your text, storytelling provides: 

  • An opportunity for children to visualize characters
  • An opportunity for children to visualize events
  • An opportunity to listen to stories without the use of written text
  • All of the above

8. Research has identified specific benefits of storytelling to young children. 

  • When children listen to stories told, it increases their comprehension of the story
  • When children listen to stories told, they identify more elements of the sequence
  • When children listen to stories told, they are more fluent in their retellings
  • All of the above

9. Reader's Theater, a relatively new concept in the creative arts, is appropriate for: 

  • Preschoolers
  • Older children who are able to read fluently
  • Toddlers
  • Infants

10. All members of the drama community should: 

  • be respected and listen carefully to others
  • Be able to contribute ideas and solve problems collaboratively
  • Operate by democratic values and care about the feelings of others
  • All of the above

11. Creative dramatics provides the bridge that Vygotsky believed was necessary for learning and included:

  • Internalization of knowledge.
  • Communication that did not occur.
  • Social interaction and feedback.
  • Both A and C.
  • All of the above.

12. Children with special needs can enjoy participating in creative drama in the early childhood classroom because:

  • It is process focused, involves improvisation, and is guided by the leader.
  • There are few opportunities to work together with classmates.
  • It is not necessary for them to speak for the characters.
  • It discourages movement and actions.
  • All of the above.

13. When young children are working together on a drama they are involved in: 

  • Finding a time and place for the drama to happen.
  • Creating the exact words of the characters.
  • The production rather than the process.
  • Creating a storyline, events, and conclusion.
  • All of the above.

14. The research of Dorothy and Jerome Singer and others has found that children who are involved in creative dramatics are: 

  • Advanced in their oral language and better able to communicate their ideas verbally.
  • More skilled in oral language but less able to listen to the ideas of others.
  • Similar to the children who have not had experiences with drama.
  • Less interested in language and literacy experiences.
  • All of the above.

15. Attending a live theater performance can be appropriate for young children if:

  • The story is meaningful for the children.
  • It does not include music and dance.
  • The production is filled with action.
  • Both A and C.
