Taking children’s love of Creative Drama and seamlessly merging it with Literacy.
Students are immersed in exciting content and contexts within a Drama Lesson, often linked to class topics, novels, Health and Wellbeing, embedding Expressive Arts and Literacy.
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.
A massive hit with student learners and also a dynamic training input for teachers which will inspire you to try these engaging teaching methods.
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!
