The DRAMA BOOK for Primary School by Allen Kerr Pdf

A book for teachers of primary school children, which will help both the novice and seasoned professional to plan exciting lessons that fit in with the Scottish Government's new Curriculum for Excellence. The themes and issues chosen for exploration in this edition reflect the broad scope of the current curriculum, with its wide ranging and 'holistic' approach to learning and teaching, and all the Lesson Plans are completely suitable and relevant for continuing use under the still evolving curriculum. At the end of each lesson, the Outcomes & Experiences, as contained in the Curriculum for Excellence guidelines, are given for that lesson. Please refer to the appropriate section of these guidelines for the full interpretation of the codes, by visiting: www.curriculumforexcellencescotland.com. The book retains the format of the original edition, and is composed of a series of Lesson Plans or Lesson Sequences, with each Plan covering a particular theme or issue. Some of the lessons will enlarge and expand upon material covered in previous chapters, but with more detail or different emphases. Shopping, for example, is a more detailed exploration of a section in the Our Food Lesson Plan, and is included here in response to feedback from teachers, who found it to be the most popular Lesson among pupils in P1-P3 - and the most requested! Again, the Plans are ordered in relation to the pupils' age and their stage - P1 to P7 - within the school. Once again, however, it should be emphasised that a class of pupils will not learn at the same pace, nor work at the same level as each other. Teachers, therefore, should utilise fully the flexibility of the Lesson Plans by adapting them to suit the ability of the pupils in their class. For example, a Lesson Plan suggested for P3 or P4 may also be given to P6 or P7 (and vice versa), with appropriate and imaginative modifications. Also, in the same lesson, pupils may contribute at levels of varying degrees according to their individual abilities. As always, the shared experience of the lesson is the key issue. An expanded Glossary of drama terms and definitions is included in the Book, as well as further suggestions for extension work, useful websites, and relevant resources and materials. It should be emphasised once more that this edition represents the latest stage of an evolving 'work-in-progress', with infinite scope for growth and expansion as future ideas and possibilities are created by the continuing evolution

The Drama Teacher's Survival Guide by Matthew Nichols Pdf

"This is a terrific and instructive book, and an essential reminder of how inspiring and empowering a good drama teacher can be. I hope it's read widely and that new generations of pupils and teachers benefit from its wisdom and its verve." Nick Hytner Drama teaching is at a critical juncture. With new qualifications in the market, changes in government approach to the arts in education and hundreds of thousands of students wanting to be part of the country's hugely successful performing arts industry, the pressures on drama teachers are enormous. Many don't have a specialist background in drama and theatre and end up taking on the role of drama teacher; others feel disconnected from current theatre practice because of the time-demands of teaching; plenty of drama teachers feel they could be serving their students better, if only they had the resources and the support. For all of those teachers, this book will come as welcome relief. The Drama Teacher's Survival Guide provides support, inspirational ideas and rock-solid guidance for secondary drama teachers. It outlines the fundamental principles of a creative drama curriculum, and looks at how teachers can facilitate this and deliver inspiring lessons to fulfill the potential of their learners. It addresses head-on the common and numerous challenges that drama teachers face, from having to design their own creative curriculum to understanding how students learn. The author's own advice and expertise is supplemented by case studies, thereby collating and offering up the best advice and experience available. Written by Matthew Nichols, drama teacher for 12 years, this book offers a range of strategies, case studies and methods that really work.
