In this edition of his classic critique of drama education in schools, David Hornbrook brings the argument up-to-date and locates his proposals for a curriculum based on the making, performing and appraisal of dramas securely in the evolving culture of schools.

Teaching U.S. History Through Children's Literature
Similar to U.S. History Through Children's Literature: From the Colonial Period to World War II in format and approach, historical fiction and nonfiction are integrated into modern U.S. History.
