First Published in 2005. Drama and English are key to creative teaching in primary schools. This book is packed with imaginative activities and offers clear guidance on: teaching techniques including step-by step guides, lesson plans and analysis; classroom examples of cross-curricular drama work including science, ICT, RE, the arts and humanities; and partial issues such as inclusion, citizenship and whole-school approaches. The very practical handbook for teacher and students makes a major contribution to the growing literature on drama and its place in children’s learning.
