We have suggested doing a tableaux in week 3 of the novel study. The phrase "tableau vivant" refers to a "living picture," which is how this method got its name. Students make a still image without speaking to capture and explain the significance of an idea. To convey a subject or idea through physical stances, gestures, and facial expressions rather than words, students must thoroughly comprehend its meaning. This collaborative technique appeals to kinaesthetic learners and allows all students to be creative while learning a topic. This allows for meaningful integration of the arts through drama.
