The "Living Newspaper" Theater As a Teaching Strategy.
Chilcoat, George W.
Social Education, v52 n6 p439-40,442-43 Oct 1988
Describes historical background of the "Living Newspaper" theater, the procedure in using the genre as a classroom activity, and the evaluation of the activity for student learning. Presents an example of play design and an observation-debriefing form, concluding that this medium stimulates student curiosity about the past and may be applied to concepts and themes relevant to contemporary society.
