Drama-Based Instruction

When doing research for our drama presentation, my group came across this site, which I think is a very valuable resource. Drama-based instruction is a site that offers a multitude of teaching strategies for incorporating drama into your ever day classroom, including lesson plans, video examples, and clear descriptions of a variety of drama strategies. I found this site useful because it helped my group understand the drama strategies that we chose to use for our demonstration, but I think it will also be useful beyond that because there is such an extensive list of strategies. The site describes 150+ strategies and the teaching-strategies section is separated into four sub-sections: activating dialogue strategies, image work strategies, role work strategies, and theatre games. You can even find strategies based on your class size, available space, and other context-specific requirements. In addition to the list of strategies, there is also 150+ lesson plans that incorporate drama into other subjects. This site is extremely easy to navigate and it is incredibly helpful, thus if you are a teacher looking for some inspiration for how you can use drama in your classroom, I highly suggest pursuing through this site.
