Enactments

"People tend to replicate things they enjoy. Boredom inhibits learning. Enjoyment fosters creativity, a natural high." Csikszentmihalyi, Flow, 1990.

Watch these enactments on The Odyssey and answer the following questions:

1) Did the students seem to learn/comprehend the material as evidenced through their enactment?
2) Did they seem to be enjoying the learning experience, i.e. having "fun"?
3) Which video did you enjoy the most, and why?
4) As a future teacher, what did you learn from watching these videos?
