Why is it better for students just to read plays in english instead of acting them out ?

acting is more about the voice tone and sounding convincing if you know how to act but cant do a good voice tone than you might want to consider getting out of that class. when you put students to act they will most likely to get shy versus if they just read.

there are three intro, body, and conclusion.

how ironic it is to see  

no one likes the budget

they   must agree

but congressmen wont budge it

politics works this way

democrats point fingers

republicans do not sway

yet the time lingers

the country has shutdown

the key has been tossed afar

let´s again start the countdown

or better get a crowbar

it has happened before  

it will happen again

it is common lore

pray not to go down the drain
