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.
