What is Drama?
In literature, a drama is the portrayal of fictional or non-fictional
events through the performance of written dialog (either prose or
poetry). Dramas can be performed on stage, on film, or the radio.
Dramas are typically called plays, and their creators are known as
“playwrights” or “dramatists.”
Drama is a teaching method, which would allow students to
explore the curriculum using several of Gardner's multiple
intelligences. Students are fully involved in learning with drama.
They are immersed into the subject. Their bodies, minds, and
emotions are extremely active when they become engrossed in the
drama.
