Diorama Drama

A diorama that taught me something I did not know:
The diorama about children being persecuted as witches in Nigeria was not only an interesting fact I learned but opened my eyes to the fact that there are so many different cultures. Of course it's horrible what has happened to these innocent children, but their culture is obviously different than ours so should we look at this issue objectively?

A diorama that is very creative:
A creative diorama was about the over-prescribing of prescription drugs. She had a lot going on with the satirical cartoons all over the box. I agree that our country's doctors push many medications, due to the influence of pharmaceutical companies. If a child has difficulty in school, don't immediately prescribe a dangerous stimulant for ADD/ADHD. Give the student extra help or adapt the lesson to his or her needs.

A diorama that really made me think more deeply about an issue:
The diorama named Death of the Innocent made me think about the manner in which "we" (our generation) communicate, express ourselves, and most often rely on the Internet. Writing, pen to paper, has become pretty much extinct.

How it felt for me to create a diorama:
To create a diorama was a creative attempt at putting my beliefs and values before my peers. Once I began working on the project the ideas began to flow and I myself even began to think deeper about the issue.
