Dramatic performance is a fantastic way to engage students in any text. Education researchers have shown that kinesthetic movement and drama-based activities enhance student understanding of complex texts and materials across a range of subjects. Play the Knave is designed to be easily adaptable to suit learning in a range of subjects, including second languages, literature, history, and life skills. Teachers and students can use our free, web-based Scriptmaker program to create their own texts for performance

Not just for Shakespeare. Use any text you wish for your performance. |
