Enacting History is a practical guide for educators that provides
methodologies and resources for teaching the Holocaust through a
variety of theatrical means, including scripted texts, verbatim
testimony, devised theater techniques and process-oriented creative
exercises. A close collaboration with the USC Shoah Foundation I
Witness program and the National Jewish Theater Foundation
Holocaust Theater International Initiative at the University of
Miami Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies resulted in the
ground-breaking work within this volume. The material facilitates
teaching the Holocaust in a way that directly connects students to
individual people and historical events through the art of theater.
Each section is designed to help middle and high school educators
meet curricular goals, objectives and standards and to integrate
other educational disciplines based upon best practices. Students
will gain both intellectual and emotional understanding by speaking
the words of survivors, as well as young characters in scripted
scenes, and developing their own performances based on historical
primary sources. This book is an innovative and invaluable resource
for teachers and students of the Holocaust; it is an exemplary
account of how the power of theater can be harnessed within the
classroom setting to encourage a deeper understanding of this
defining event in history.

The third edition of this popular text uses music and drama to
promote learning across the curriculum and with all types of
learners. Based on arts integration standards, differentiated
instruction techniques, and current research, Creative Drama and
Music Methods provides the theory along with applications to help
teachers build confidence in using the arts in their daily lesson
plans. The text is filled with hands-on activities that guide
pre-service and K-8th grade teachers in understanding that
integrating drama and music is easy, fun, and vital to fostering a
child's desire to explore, imagine, and learn. Examples are
provided in each chapter, along with the purpose of the activity
and tips for instruction. Rubin and Merrion provide activities that
engage elementary and middle school students and range from simple
stories and rhythmic activities to story dramatization and
composition. All the activities can be comfortably incorporated
into the classroom routine and place no additional burdens on the
teacher. They are especially useful for educators with valid
learning goals but limited experience in creative drama and music.
Not typical for creative drama or music texts, Creative Drama and
Music Methods takes a process approach to the two arts, placing
primary significance on the learner's growth and development.
