Practical Drama for Schools (Level 2 - Upper Primary) Book One

Drama and expressive arts can play a crucial role across the whole primary curriculum and can offer a unique and fun way for teachers to develop key skills outlined in the Curriculum for Excellence. Drama can stand alone as a subject and can be a great way for children to learn about the arts, about theatre and have fun exploring drama and performance skills. However it is also a unique way to enhance work already being covered in other areas of the curriculum such as environmental studies, history or personal development. This book offers easy to follow workshop plans for any Primary School teacher. The plans can be adapted and changed according to the needs of the teacher and the class they are working with. The book is divided into sections which complement the curriculum. You can use drama to explore a historical topic or simply run a fun performance based workshop.
