ABSTRACT

This practical book gives you all the ideas you need to make drama a regular and integral part of your school’s curriculum, offering detailed suggestions of drama work for ages 7 to 11. The teaching units are arranged around four strands: drama for literacy; drama and the whole curriculum; drama film, media, and ICT; and drama for performance. The authors provide a wealth of practical activities throughout. Each unit includes:

  • explicit links to the Renewed Framework for literacy and the wider curriculum
  • a list of resources needed
  • clear learning objectives and outcomes
  • steps for teaching and learning including how to modify activities to suit your school
  • links to writing
  • assessment guidance.

Based on the authors’ experience as teachers and in-service trainers, this book provides a wide range of ideas and activities for inspiring drama across Key Stage 2, and is essential reading for all those interested in bringing drama into their school.
