Synopsis
A collection of short scenes from plays, with learning activities and teaching strategies to accompany each one - everything a teacher needs to help students connect with the material and give a truthful performance.
Truth in Play: Drama Strategies for Building Meaningful Performances is divided into three thematic sections - Truth in Heart, Truth in Adversity and Truth in Justice - each designed to engage students in a specific set of issues, help them step inside the text and guide them towards empathising with the characters. The teaching material will help teachers to develop their students' understanding of motivations and feelings, enabling them to connect authentically with their characters in performance.
The book is aimed at those teaching English and Drama at secondary school level, and will also be invaluable to those working with youth drama groups and well as youth groups in general.
The authors are practising/experienced teachers in Canada and have drawn on a wide range of Canadian plays to illustrate their work.
