Inspired Drama Teaching

Inspired Drama Teaching is packed full of practical ideas to inspire your students and colleagues. This book offers tips and ideas on everything a teacher of secondary drama needs to cover, including:

• Explorative strategies, such as role play and forum-theatre

• Activities for making use of stimuli, such as scripts and music

• Ideas for incorporating the elements of drama, such as rhythm and characterisation

• Approaching drama as a medium, through the use of mime and make-up.

This book includes a chapter on getting the students to work collaboratively, and one on making use of ICT within drama on the companion website. There is also a chapter dedicated to embodying drama and dramatic techniques across the curriculum, so you can get your colleagues excited about drama as well. There''s a handy exam specification matrix online too.

Inspired Drama Teaching isn''t only for teachers just beginning their careers on the school stage; even experienced drama and English teachers will find plenty of new ideas and activities.
