HD 470 - Teaching as Performing Art

3 Unit(s)
Students explore creative drama as a process-centered form of expression in which they are guided by a leader to imagine, enact, and reflect upon human experiences. The purpose is to provide an alternative approach to teaching social studies and integrated Arts which opens children's minds, stimulates their imaginations and language abilities, and sparks their enthusiasm for continued personal development and discovery. This class may also serve as a practical guide for classroom teachers, recreational leaders, and others who want to initiate creative drama activities in a variety of Subject areas and need help in getting started.
