In role

Teaching and Learning "in role" offers everyone involved in it, whether teacher or student, exciting opportunities for integrating learning across the curriculum. In In Role: Teaching and Learning Dramatically Patrick Verriour, who has been sharing his enthusiasm for this approach with both teachers-in-training and experienced teachers for over ten years, shows how the art of dramatic playing can be used as a process for this integration of student learning. Patrick's step-by-step guide to the planning and implementation of dramatic playing in the classroom provides the kinds of structures that teachers as well as students need to support their work and to encourage them to take risks together. Chapter length descriptions of integrated thematic units, detailed lesson plans, numerous examples of actual classroom work and of students writing in role, are just a few of the many features in this comprehensive, thoughtful and ultimately inspiring introduction to the richly rewarding challenges of teaching and learning dramatically.
