The English Teacher's Drama Handbook by Nicholas Mcguinn
The English Teachers Drama Handbook is a rich, thought-provoking introduction to teaching drama within the English classroom. Divided into two sections, the first part of the book explores deological influences that have shaped drama's relationship with English over the past 250 years and aims to help you locate your own practice within a theoretical and historical context."This is a scholarly, coherent and compelling bookMcGuinn is assured and eloquent, despite finding himself straddling both subject camps. At times he is frustrated and regretful at the long history of well-intentioned dysfunction that characterises the relationship between drama and English – subjects that appear so paradoxically similar and alien. At other times McGuinn’s imagination, enthusiasm and expertise in both pedagogies convince you that the experience of drama and English for students would be significantly enhanced by recognition by their teachers of both the common ground and the distinct opportunities offered by the two subjects." -Teaching English, Mike Connell, NATE Drama Committee
