Description
While Drama stands alone as a subject in the Western Australian Curriculum, Drama as pedagogy can also be a powerful tool to engage students in learning. This workshop gives participants the opportunity to explore children’s books with drama process strategies.
Content includes:
- An introduction to the research on Arts in Education
- Curriculum links
- Exploring a text as students through workshop activities
- Matching process drama strategies to texts
- Leading activities with the group
Participants will leave with a selection of ideas to take back to their own classrooms. No previous drama experience is required.
