Drama That Delivers - Real-Life Problems, Students' Solutions (Paperback)

Add a new dimension to learning with drama. These eight engaging, reproducible scripts allow young people to address such sensitive issues as suicide, alcoholism, divorce, anger, and peer pressure. Using a student-centered, hands-on approach, the open-ended scripts give participants the opportunity to consider difficult problems and to role-play various endings. The plays and associated activities can help students develop critical-thinking, problem-solving, and logical decision-making skills. With each script, you'll find background information, discussion questions, and ideas for activities and lessons. Useful to classroom teachers as well as drama and theater groups, the book will also appeal to school and mental health counselors and church youth groups.
