The Drama Studio Edinburgh has now completed 3 Pilot studies developing a Drama Literacy Resource for Primary 2-Primary 7 aimed at using students’ love of Creative Drama, within the classroom setting to motivate and improve Literacy.
The format is a series of teaching videos in which the lessons are embedded with Over To You points throughout when the students have Drama and Literacy tasks to do.
In effect the students are taken through a very successful learning cycle- Drama Activity>Writing>Presentation of Writing (which brings them full circle back into the physical activity of sharing/presenting their written work or using it within the Drama activity itself.
The resource has been received with excellent evaluation and feedback and teachers can learn more about it from the following link and also Trial a few lessons.
