Creative Dramas: Picture the Possibilities

Step 4: Sequence ideas

After many ideas are generated, teachers can rearrange them until a desired sequence is established. Although a given order of ideas is not right or wrong, some sequences flow more logically than others. Teachers can pay particular attention to ways that learners process ideas most easily based on chronology and/or level of abstraction. Chronology and level of abstraction are influenced by two other factors that are generally inversely related: the number of roles assumed and depth of ideas.
