CPD review: Practical Drama Strategies in English

Susan Elkin takes a look at this practical CPD session from We Teach Drama.

This 60-minute webinar is a We Teach Drama resource led by Faye Baldwin with some input from Lucy Bellingham. Delivered live, it allows viewing by one or two teachers for a fee of £30. Alternatively, it can also be purchased as a webinar replay. Baldwin's slides are emailed out afterwards so that you can print them or access them digitally.

It is very useful CPD, full of ideas for getting students to master texts in active or proactive ways, or to apply drama techniques in English lessons. For instance, you could ask students to create fast-paced acting out of part of a story, with each group emerging from the class circle to present its work. You might also use key quotes as a starting point. Or how about acting a key moment and then photographing it to create a captionwwed text-related board or ‘Role on the Wall’?
