- What were the results?
First of all, I am really happy to see my results are positive. I went to Buchanan Elementary, Baton Rouge to apply my project. I worked with Samantha’s class. Before going there, I was really nervous about this experience. However, I felt really comfortable with children. I started the lesson with a small warm up exercise. I chose ‘the name game’ exercise.

- Did you learn anything that will help you to be a more successful teacher with high ability learners?
It was the first experience for me to work with gifted children in the US. I got a chance to see the one of EBR gifted class and it was great experience for me. I learned something about gifted education in EBR system. Plus, during all this project I learned how can I adapt drama to different class, subjects for gifted learners. I did a lot of research about different kinds of drama techniques and methods for diverse subjects. Now I am feeling well informed about this issue.
- What value do you see in Action Research?
As I said before, somehow Action Research Project will be my first pace for my master’s thesis. I gain many things with this
