Our most recent project takes childrens’ love of Creative Drama and seamlessly intertwines it with Literacy. Students are immersed in exciting content and contexts within a Drama Lesson that then requires a reading and writing input.
After extensive research and piloting with teachers across Scotland to excellent review, we have now built an online resource called Over To You for teachers to use in directly in their classrooms. Not only is this a massive hit with student learners but also the training impact for teachers themselves has inspired them to try out these new methods of teaching and has had tremendous CPD spin off.
Resource Introduction
All children were able to access the literacy activities at their own level. Using drama as a stimulus for writing in this way is like sprinkling some pixie dust into your classroom. You can almost sit back and watch the magic happen. The children are more engaged and motivated to complete their writing; and there isn’t that ‘writer’s block’ that many children have because they already came to their jotters full of ideas. The resource is excellent!
