GED 667 - Words Come Alive!: Drama in the Classroom

Research has shown that theater is a very effective teaching tool and yet, it is rarely used in the classroom. This course, designed for all levels of acting and teaching experience, presents ways to teach theater skills and to skillfully interweave drama into the K-12 curriculum.  Techniques presented help students build problem solving skills and develop their expressive range, while at the same time deepen students’ engagement in and understanding of what they read and hear.  Topics include warm-ups, theater games, teaching in character, methods of reflection and assessment, and supporting research.  This course fulfills the Integrating the Arts curriculum course requirement for Arts in the Education concentration.

Credits: 3 cr.

Miscellaneous Notes:
A materials fee is due upon registration.
