THE USE OF LITERATURE AND LIBRARY RESOURCES IN CREATIVE DRAMATICS.

摘要

This study explores the use of literature and library resources in creative dramatics. It illustrates how the teacher can use literature and non-print media such as photographs, graphics, paintings, sculpture, music, and films to involve students in satisfying dramatic experiences which need not culminate in story dramatization. It also shows how different forms of literature and library resources can be incorporated into each stage of the creative drama process to explore human concerns common to all children, including the handicapped and gifted. The study draws upon the author's practical experience in educational, recreational, and library settings with children from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.
