Routes Through English: Drama in the Twentieth Century Teacher's Book
by Jim Taylor and Frank Downes
Published 16 November 2000
"Routes Through English" focuses on essential aspects of GCSE English course and examination work. This book draws on a range of excerpts from plays, television scripts and film scripts to introduce students to the variety of forms in drama and to develop their skills in dramatic criticism. Activities are carefully stepped to ensure students understand key concepts and how to employ them, while the excerpts themselves capture humorous, shocking and emotive "moments" to engage students' interest. Structured, progressive questions develop key skills gradually and comprehensively. Information about the literary, cultural and historical contexts of the texts ensure students have a firm base on which to build their skills and knowledge. The course is designed to develop exactly the skills students will need to demonstrate in their coursework, building their ability and confidence. Tailor-made for the NEAB syllabus, the course is equally ideal for use with all GCSE English syllabuses and responds to the requirements of the revised (2000) National Curriculum.
