How to teach drama...?

Well, although we will not teach any kinds of drama to our students, we still need to learn how to teach it. In case, there are students who will take English Literature. (Does that kind of subject exist in SPM now?) However, it is still helpful because we may want to introduce drama to our students for English Language Society. We also may want them to perform it at school. Maybe during PTA’s meeting, sports day (?), teacher’s day, or any other events.
Well, it is not that bad, until you have to do simulated teaching. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is the time for us to laugh at other people’s presentation. And as the result, people will laugh at you too. Not that bad huh! What you give you get back…
Well, (another well) when we do simulated teaching, then we will know how it feels to be like a real teacher. If you a kind of person who is a stage fright, please overcome it, as soon as possible (this message is for me too!). You have to make sure that your instructions are clear enough for the students to understand. No joke okay. If you yourself do not know what you are doing at the moment, you will be in a great trouble. As a teacher, you need to make sure that you are prepared with whatever kind of question that your students will ask.
Another important thing, we also need to use the right set induction to make our lesson as appealing as ever. Then only our students will be interested and pay attention to what we are talking about.
So my friends, make sure for those have not done their simulated teaching, please make it well (another message for me too). Not only to score good mark, but also to prepare ourselves when we go out for practicum and work. Good Luck!
