- Drama as a Way of Knowing. Strategies for Teaching and Learning Professional Library. Heller, Paul G. Acting Creative Dramatics Curriculum Development Dramatic Play Dramatics Elementary Education Improvisation Learning Strategies Pantomime Student Motivation Teaching Methods Teaching Styles This publication is part of a series of monographs on the art of teaching. Each volume, focusing on a specific discipline, explores theory in the context of teaching strategies connected to evaluation of both teachers' and students' learning. Three techniques are offered for using the series: dialogues (as self-evaluation and in study groups), shop talk (review of current professional literature), and teacher-to-teacher field notes (tips and experiences from practicing educators). This volume, containing six chapters, focuses on drama. Chapter 1 discusses bringing drama into the classroom, showing students how drama can help them both to learn and to show what they have learned. Chapter 2 focuses on using the dramatic activities students engage in as part of normal interaction as a way of bringing students into acting. Chapter 3 explores using pantomime in a variety of situations. Chapter 4 looks at introducing improvisation and how students can use it effectively. Chapter 5 examines how students progress from the natural form of improvisation to creative and artistic scene expression through two vehicles, the script and the rehearsal. Chapter 6 explores elements involved in producing a large scale student production. A list of professional associations and publications is included. (Contains 43 references.) (ND)
