| Summary |
This book is a practical guide to teaching drama and provides a clear and coherent framework together with a theoretical underpinning which teachers can use to create their own drama lessons. Neil Kitson and Ian Spiby discuss different ways of using drama as an effective learning medium within the primary school. They propose a curriculum for drama that combines the diverse references in the various documents of the National Curriculum whilst identifying unique qualities specific to the subject which can form a coherent framework for teachers to adopt. Central to the book are a range of techniques, examples and activities that will provide a firm foundation for the teaching of drama, giving confidence to those who have little or no experience and allowing others, who may have already acquired some, to develop their skills |
