Teachers experience practical methods for using drama and movement to teach Social Studies and English Language Arts curricular content. They choose figures from history or literature and explore them through movement and imagination; they write from the point of view of the characters they choose and create a brief, informal readers' theater presentation. Teachers take home a guide to leading the activities they take part in during the workshop, including a script for leading similar activities in their own classrooms. This workshop was developed through a Kennedy Center training.
What a teacher from Mount Vernon Alternative Middle School (Raleigh, NC) said about the workshop:
"This was the best professional development session we had all year!"
