Inspiring Writing through Drama offers interactive, high-quality drama
schemes that will motivate and
inspire students aged 7-16 to write for a range of purposes and
audiences. Each drama unit offers:
- A planning grid flagging the writing opportunities within the drama
- Original resources, such as poems, text messages and fragments of
graffiti
- Individual, group and whole-class writing opportunities, some
teacher-led and others guided by the students
- Icons to signpost differentiated activities
Reading, writing, speaking and listening opportunities are embedded
within the drama experiences, and you can follow the schemes or use the
texts as a springboard to developing your own drama units and writing
opportunities. The authors offer guidance on using drama strategies
imaginatively and encourage you to assess the impact on the writing
outcomes of your students. This book offers a clear methodology and
high-quality practical drama activities that will motivate students to
write purposefully within compelling imaginary contexts.
