Event Blog: Vagina Monologues

The Vagina Monologues had a number of very effective presenters. The women that participated had clearly rehearsed their parts various times before the performance. They were also extremely entertaining and engaging. Each girl was able to get in character to represent their monologue in the most effective manner. Each monologue was clear, concise and to the point. All of these characteristics made the monologues easy to listen to and very interesting.

Many of the effective techniques used in the Vagina Monologues could be carried over to be used in the classroom. One of the greatest characteristics of an effective teacher is their ability to speak in front of a group of people. Just like the monologues, a teacher should be clear, concise, and to the point. They should be prepared with lesson plans that they have rehearsed and practiced beforehand. A teacher must also be "in character" when they are in the classroom. The culture of the classroom should be structured towards optimal classroom management in order for maximal learning to take place. This is how the skills presented in the Vagina Monologues can also be used effectively in the classroom.
