This volume of the Brainball series gives the theater classroom teacher an intentional, sequenced process for creating inclusive theatre pedagogy that maximizes students' learning. In addition, the Brainball technique offers concrete forms of meaningful assessment applicable to the theater classroom, and connects easily to our newly published national standards in theatre arts education. Brainball is a purposeful and process-driven set of teaching strategies that gets students to "express their human experience through representative actions." The book focuses on creating experiences that allow students to grapple with what is going on in their lives - and then work through the joys and pains through role-play activities. This book is also an excellent resource to help guide teachers in intentionally planning to get students to develop positive dispositions, collaborative teams and supportive communities where everyone contributes and everyone has an important role.

Following on from the 50th anniversary of the birth of Theatre in Education in Britain in 2015, this is an essential and timely companion to the story of TIE. It contextualizes it within the political and educational landscape of the last fifty years and examines its legacy today. Through this, Roger Wooster offers insights into future possibilities and applications in the field of Applied Theatre, drama in schools and pedagogical theory. With examples and analysis of international developments in TIE, and a foreword by Philip Taylor (NYU, USA), the volume provides a wide-ranging account of past and current practice. Across its three sections the volume examines the origins, work and legacy of TIE, considering for the first time its practical details. Each section features an Afterword by a leading practitioner reflecting on the work (including Warwick Dobson, Chris Vine and Anthony Jackson), and chapters draw on case studies and interviews with key practitioners. Chapter summaries and a companion website further enhance the text as a valuable teaching resource for theatre educators.

Written specifically for GCSE students by academics in the field, the Methuen Drama GCSE Student Guides conveniently gather indispensable resources and tips for successful understanding and writing all in one place, preparing students to approach their exams with confidence. Key features include a critical commentary of the play with extensive, clearly labelled analyses on themes, characters and context. They take studying drama even further with sections on dramatic technique, critical reception, related works, fascinating behind-the-scenes interviews with playwrights, directors or actors, and a helpful glossary of dramatic terms. An English theatre classic, J. B. Priestley's An Inspector Calls is as much about today as it is about the 20th century. On a night in 1912, Inspector Goole's unexpected arrival at the Birling family's home turns a dinner party into a murder investigation with some shattering conclusions. Closely following the requirements of GCSE English Literature assessment objectives, these studies include expert advice on how to write about modern drama. With featured activities for group study and independent work, they are versatile and valuable to students and teachers alike.

Wenner - Maskew Miller Longman 2014 Letterkundeprys. BFF deur Cecilia du Toit is die Afrikaanse wenner van Maskew Miller Longman se Letterkunde-kompetisie in 2014. Dis 'n heerlike eietydse drama oor vier vriendinne wat desperaat op soek is na metgeselle vir die Graad 11 bal, en nie juis soos BFF (Best Friends Forever) teenoor mekaar optree nie. Een van die vier besluit om vir die ander 'n les in lojaliteit te leer, en span 'n Facebook-hartebreker in om haar plan deur te voer. Die toneelstuk verwys tong-in-die-kies na die mite van Pygmalion wat vir homself 'n vrou skep, en na Frankenstein wat 'n monster maak om sy wraakplanne uit te voer. Deon Opperman, bekende dramaturg en vanjaar beoordelaar van die Letterkunde-kompetisie, se die volgende oor BFF: Die karakters is juis, eg en uniek.; Die dialoog is kraakvars, geloofwaardig en uiters vermaaklik.; Die stuk bied baie interessante moontlikhede vir opvoering op die verhoog.; Die teks is relevant vir 'n tienerleser en 'n gehoor.; 'n Mens kan baie by die karakters leer; tog is daar nooit die gevoel van 'n preek wat afgesteek word nie. Four friends are desperately looking for dates for the Grade 11 ball and do not exactly act like BFF's (Best Friends Forever) to each other. One of the four friends decides to teach the other a lesson in loyalty and gets a Facebook heartbreaker to help her carry out her plan.
