'Following a thorough and thoughtful exposition of the relationship between drama and writing, the book provides a plethora of practical strategies and excellent resources which have been carefully and imaginatively structured to promote the development of both written and oral communication. The richness of the ideas presented here is a celebration of the richness of our language, the fluidity of which is as astonishing as its capacity to evolve.'
'I congratulate Rob and Patrice on what they have achieved in this book. ‘Inspiring Writing Through Drama’ has every chance of success because the thinking and practice on which it is grounded is inspiring.'

‘This new edition contains significant new research and thinking by one of the world's foremost thinkers and practitioners of drama education. It is a must-buy book for anyone interested in drama education from beginning teachers to experienced specialists. With Drama in Mind skilfully combines theory and practice in an accessible and user-friendly language. I couldn't recommend it more highly.’
Peter O’Connor, Associate Professor and Director of the Critical Research Unit in Applied Theatre, University of Auckland, New Zealand
What Patrice Baldwin understands and communicates so well in With Drama in Mind is the understanding that we are childlike in nature throughout life. To engage in drama is to accelerate and sophisticate the process by which human brains learn best through play-based learning systems where tensions and conflicts unique to our species can be safely and productively explored and conquered. Bravo!

"This publication originally emerged as a result of a project whereby the author, Patrice Baldwin, worked alongside other primary teachers to explore the cross-curricular uses of drama in the Primary School.
It remains a very useful resource for all primary teachers, comprising a number of common Primary themes and how you plan drama for them in a practical way lesson by lesson, e.g. 'Growth & Change'; 'Trees'; 'Space'; 'The Vikings'; 'The Victorians'; 'Evacuees' . It will also fit well with the partly thematic approach expected to develop with the implementation of the new primary curriculum (from September 2011)" |
