'Drama Techniques' (Cambridge)
I just want to let you all know how good this book is. I bought it at the beginning of the summer season and have used it throughout. I have mainly used it with my intermediate/upper-intermediate mid-teen classes (14-17 year olds) and they have responded to it really well. However, I have also used some of the exercises with my (elementary/intermediate) younger students (9-13 year olds) with an equally good response. Even the older teen/adult advanced classes like the materiel, though, on the whole, in a more measured way. The exercises themselves are varied enough to offer something to suit most classes; they are detailed enough so you can use them straight off the page; but they can also be adapted to suit your particular needs. I suppose it does help, however, if you, the teacher, actually like drama, because then both you and your classes will be open to this sort of material. However, from my own point of view, at the moment, this is the one book that is always in my bag and it's helped create a lot of really good class/group atmosphere. Thank you Alan Marley and Alan Duff!
