Excerpt from The Dramatic Method of Teaching
That I came to the conclusion that there was a great need of a radical change. So little was there of initiative or originality on the part of the children themselves, that I felt sure nothing short of a surgical operation - a com plete cutting away of old habits and the formation of a new school tradition - would meet the case. The first aid which I invoked was nature study, mainly from its aesthetic standpoint and from the verv first I realized that, to be Of any value, it must be nature real/y sfua'z'ea' by t/ze c/zz'la' flimsdf. It must not be nature filtered through pic torial illustration, textbook, dried specimen, and scientific terms, finally dribbled into passive children's minds minus the joy of assimilation; but it must be the real study of living and working nature, absorbed in the open air under conditions which allow for free movement under natural discipline. And Since nature is the storehouse from which poet and artist draw their inspiration, it naturally follows that we found it but a short step from the study of the open book of nature into the Elysian fields of literature and the arts. Nature study then became the basis of every possible lesson; and the school nature gardens and na ture rambles supplied subject matter for lessons In Singing, reading, writing, arithmetic, drawing, painting, recitation, composition, grammar, and much of the geography.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the innovative use of theatrical methods within the teaching of history, literature, geography, and other subjects. The author, an English schoolteacher, found that the conventional lecture and question-and-answer format of teaching failed to engage her students. Instead, she implemented a dramatic approach, in which students actively participated in creating and performing short plays based on their lessons. This book presents a detailed account of how the author implemented this method, and the positive outcomes it had on her students' learning and overall development. The book's insights into the benefits of experiential and collaborative learning make it a valuable resource for educators seeking to enhance their teaching practices and create a more engaging and effective classroom environment.
