Drama in Schools
- basic questions answered for primary schools

'Drama in primary schools ideally includes: free and supported dramatic play opportunities; drama lessons within which children are taught how to do drama itself; the use of drama methodology in lessons other than just English and drama; whole class drama lessons through which children explore issues and ideas together (learning in and across curriculum areas); opportunities to create, perform and respond to their own and each other's performances; opportunities to create, perform and respond to professional theatre performances (including theatre visits in schools); participatory opportunities to work creatively and evaluatively with actors and playwrights.'

AAAAAGH
What's Up Doc?

'Have you ever taken a 'cartoon test' or perhaps have used one to get a sense of how our new groups feel about drama? Maybe you've used one as a means of getting, for example, a Yr 10 group to pass on their thoughts and feelings about the GCSE course to Yr 9s. On the other hand, maybe you've never come across them at all in which case this might interest you and get you thinking about how you could use the device.'
