Getting the Buggers Into Drama

Autor Sue Cowley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – dec 2007
Part of the hit 'Getting...' series: a brilliant guide for both specialist drama teachers and teachers who want to use drama to help teach other elements of the curriculum

This wonderfully accessible and practical guide provides a range of effective strategies for teaching drama. Written with her usual practicality, humour and optimism, Sue Cowley demonstrates how drama can make lessons across the curriculum more interesting and engaging.

Both the specialist drama teacher and those who are interested in using drama to help them deliver other areas of the curriculum will find an invaluable resource here. It will also be particularly helpful to staff at primary level who have found themselves lumbered with "putting on the school play"!

'Written in her usual informal style, which addresses the teacher directly, this is a very useful addition to the professional library of any school, and should be particularly helpful to inexperienced or non-specialist staff both in primary and lower secondary settings.' - A real school librarian
