Description
This book is of great interest to all teachers and student teachers who wish to harness the power of drama and story for the purposes of social and moral education and in support of the National Literacy Strategy. It provides documented schemes of work in the form of lesson plans for each of the primary year groups, with clearly defined objectives and criteria for assessment, a step-by-step guidance through the drama work, clear links with individual objectives specified by the National Literacy Strategy, and further classroom activities to support the objectives of a curriculum for social and moral education. In proposing an analytical framework for the contribution drama can make to the moral education of children, the author draws upon classroom examples and provides teachers with straightforward guidance to support their own whole-school planning.
