Why use drama?
Gemini training believes that drama is not simply a subject, but is primarily
a creative leaning medium to help children gain an understanding of themselves
and others
Drama is an exiting, powerful and effective tool through which to teach
all aspects of the curriculum. Once methods have been learnt it’s easy to
design your own existing lessons using Drama.
Drama is invaluable as a means for developing language skills and encouraging positive social interaction.
Drama engages pupils, deepens their responses to literature and develops their communication, thinking skills and their creativity.
Drama actively engages pupils with special educational needs and helps
them to learn in a practical and exiting way.
All this and it makes learning fun too!
