Review of 'Drama in Primary English teaching'
Teaching the Primary Curriculum through Drama
provides teachers and trainee teachers with an inspiring and practical approach to using drama for learning across the primary curriculum. It provides clear guidance on the every-day use of drama in the classroom in pairs and small groups as well as the larger-scale lessons in a larger space. Practical ideas for management and organisation are explained to help teachers understand how they can facilitate and control this effectively.Practical examples are given of how drama can be used as a vehicle to teach other curriculum subjects such as history, geography and religious education. The value of drama to help pupils develop their personal, social and emotional skills is also covered. Drama as a discrete subject is explored, and a chapter is included on integrating drama with other creative arts subjects. Subjects covered include:-
- Creative Arts and Englsih
- Science and Mathematics
- History
- Geography
- RE
- Social and emotional skills.
This new book is written to accompany and build on ideas presented in the highly successful Teaching Primary English through Drama.
