For teachers, here - for the first time - is a book which just contains lesson plans to pick up and teach. Drama Lessons will also give student teachers a flying start in their school placements.

Excellent
An excellent easy to follow resource that has interesting and stimulating activities for different age groups. Activities are varied and the kids loved them. I would definitely recommend it!!

You will wonder what you did before you had it!
I have found this book invaluable in the classroom. I purchased it as part of my teaching course material and have used it every year since. The activities are easy to follow and have lead to some excellent writing. My particular favourites are the Lady of Shalott and King Lear (yes it does work!. Thanks for producing this excellent resource-When's the next one coming out?

Excellent for even experienced drama teachers
Clearly shows how each lesson plan relates to the curriculum. Lessons are broken down in to sections and given an indication of time. Tried a couple out on my students and they were totally engaged.
