(4 hrs Lecture) This course prepares teacher candidates for drama instruction at the secondary-school level. It focuses on the general approach to teaching a drama program, with an overview of each level and a study of progressions from one level to the next. Practical in nature, the students experience the drama exercises for themselves, centering on how to present the material effectively to their future students. Specific units that could be incorporated into a complete drama program are explored. Experiencing the projects first hand, students present a finished product, with a discussion of evaluation techniques following each presentation. Requisite Courses: EDUC-4730 [prerequisite(s)].
