Understanding the Complexity of Social Issues through Process Drama.
O'Mara, Joanne
Talking Points, v14 n1 p27-30 Oct-Nov 2002
Attempts to capture the process of understanding and questioning deforestation through process drama (in which students and teacher work both in and out of role to explore a problem, situation, or theme). Notes that moving topics such as the destruction of a rainforest into process drama introduces complexity into social issues. Considers how students learn to think beyond their own point of view and consider multiple perspectives. (SG)
