Great Book after youve had a little experience teaching.By Judy HanelWhen I first bought this book I skimmed it and thought it was too theoretical and not practical enough. I was looking for specific activities to use in the classroom. But half way through my second year of teaching drama; which was new to me; I read it again and it all made sense. I could now relate to the difficulties of teaching drama; the differences between dramatic play and drama as theatre and the challenge of actually building skills. I used the "Pied Piper" lesson plan for my year 3 and 4 classes and it was a success. I finally started to build confidence in how to sequence lessons. I also realized the importance of exploring the content and themes within the drama being performed rather than just looking at drama skills such as voice and movement etc. It became my favourite resource book in 2016. Now I can use my other practical drama books more effectively with this as a foundation. I would recommend this to someone who has already had a year of teaching drama or for someone who has studied drama as part of their teacher training program and has already taught some lessons and has some sense of the complexities of teaching drama.
