Drama 7-11: Developing Primary Teaching Skills

This book is a practical guide to teaching drama and provides a clear and coherent framework together with a theoretical underpinning which will allow teachers to create their own drama lessons from an informed standpoint and maximize the learning potential. The authors propose a curriculum for drama which combines the diverse references in the various documents of the National Curriculum whilst at the same time identifying the 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 which will provide a firm foundation for the teaching of drama, give confidence to those who have little or no experience and allow development for others who may have already acquired some.
