Intended to help elementary school teachers find new and more varied ways of using drama--both for its own intrinsic value and as a school-wide teaching strategy--this publication examines the place of drama in the kindergarten through grade six curriculum. Following a rationale, the publication provides guidelines for planning a drama program and suggests a variety of approaches that teachers can use. Examples of activities in movement, role playing, improvisation, and performance are all included, and two case studies of teachers' classroom programing complete the guide. (HTH)
