Pupils as Playwrights: drama, literacy and playwriting (Members) £17.99 £17.09
This is an innovative and exciting approach to drama and to developing the literacy skills of children from the ages of 6 to12. It is especially timely now that creativity and particularly drama is being recognised as so important in pupils’ development. The book
- makes explicit links between literacy, drama and the development of speaking and listening skills
- presents case studies of developed process drama, noting what might be expected of children at different stages in their development
- offers extensive practical exercises and activities
- suggests models for planning further work
- provides photocopiable material which can be used with children
- gives advice on how to develop similar materials with pupils
Pupils as Playwrights is for primary school teachers, particularly those who teach literacy or drama. It will also be of interest to primary teaching trainees.
Brian Woolland has worked as a teacher in mainstream education, an advisory teacher for Drama and a Senior Lecturer in Drama at the University of Reading and leads workshops on Educational Drama and Theatre. Now a freelance writer and educator, he divides his time between teaching, leading courses for teachers and writing novels and plays.
Reviews
Woolland provides teachers with a powerful tool to develop students' literacy skills. Teachers and prospective teachers will find this a highly useful addition to their professional library. Highly recommended for all readership levels.
Choice USA
University and school leaders would do well to make this title prescribed reading for both primary and secondary teaching undergraduates and teaching professionals in the field. ...Highly recommended.
