- Abstract
- This chapter illuminates the practice of a group of highly experienced drama teachers working with children and pre-service education students. The case studies chosen for inclusion here look at two very distinctive approaches to drama practice---a drama workshop, based on a rich and compelling 'pre-text', Fox, winner of the 2001 Children's Book Council Award; and the development of a multi-layered dramatic event redolent with iearnlng possibilities across a number of disciplines. The case studies are framed with a brief overview of some key principles of drama education: the place of dramatic play; dramatic elements; and embodied iearning; and a series of questions, activities, and provocations designed to broaden and extend the way the newcomer to drama teaching might think about possible applications of drama in the classroom.
