Very useful indeed!!!!! - This book has been constantly in my bag ready for me to grab for ideas, information and guidance. Having started the GTP scheme in secondary drama last term I have found this book really helpful in planning all of those lessons! Definately worth its money!.
A really useful drama handbook! - I recently purchased this book as a BA Drama and Performing Arts student wishing to become a drama teacher. This book is fantastic! It gives a great insight into Drama in the National Curriculum and I found the example drama games and activities really useful. The book also includes images and extracts that can help with classroom activities. I would really recommend this book both to teachers and to those wishing to be teachers. It s definately inspired me and given me some great ideas which will also help me on my degree course!
A must for all would be or established drama teachers - I am currently applying for a PGCE in Drama and have found this book an invaluable source of information about good teaching practice. It covers everything from lesson planning to assessments and is a must for being able to talk about drama teaching at an interview!
A welcome guide for assessing students of Drama in schools. - This is a long awaited excellent basis for creating levels of assessment for Drama in schools. Kempe and Ashwell are now well known and highly respected authorities on curriculum Drama. The book begins by outlining a philosophy for Drama teaching which sets the subject out as an art form separate from the teaching of English. It then provides Drama teachers with crucial information on baseline assessment followed by a detailed table of Levels of Assessment to bring our subject in line with all others. (These Levels can be downloaded from the heinemann website and adapted together with the Hampshire Levels to create a new set appropriate to your school.) The book also contains some good schemes of work and lesson plans. Most important -- the book s Levels of Assessment fill an important gap in the U.K. National Curriculum. Should be read by teachers, headteachers and the U.K. Government. Excellent.
