Week 26-Drama

Original Paragraph:

You remember that drama is play-acting. When you play with dolls, you are doing drama. When you talk to them or pretend that one of them is your friend, and give them words to say, that is drama. When you play cops and robbers, you are also acting out drama. When you you pretend that you are the cop who catches the robber in a bank, you are performing a kind of play. Television and movie plays are drama. Years ago, for our ancestors, drama played out on the stage with live actors was as common as television and movies are for us today.

Now I am going to do an Evaluation of this paragraph:

This is a paragraph out of a learning book for 2nd graders, so I can see why it's so explanatory. But still, I think it has too many examples of "drama." It's like they are trying to find something to write about to fill up the page. I like the part where it talk about our ancestors and how their plays were, but they talk about TV and movies twice and that gets boring.
