Younger students love when the teacher
goes into role (T.I.R) with them during an improvisation. It works well because
it is unexpected if not overused as a teaching strategy, because the teacher is
also 'playing' and therefore showing another, more human side to their
personality. It is a shared experience that they are unlikely to have with
another member of staff or possibly with another adult. It also helps keep an
improvisation on track as the teacher can direct the improvisation in the
direction that it needs to go in, ask questions to explore themes or ideas that
may have not arisen yet and to help support less able students.
