Creating Drama with 4-7 Year Olds: Lesson Ideas to Integrate Drama into the Primary Curriculum
This practical book gives you all the ideas you need to make drama a regular and integral part of your school’s curriculum, offering detailed suggestions of drama work for ages 4 to 7. The teaching units are arranged around four strands: drama for literacy; drama and the whole curriculum; drama film, media, and ICT; and drama for performance.
This book compiles and synthesizes existing research on teachers' use of mathematics curriculum materials and the impact of curriculum materials on teaching and teachers, with a particular emphasis on - but not restricted to - those materials developed in the 1990s in response to the NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. The book represents the first compilation of research on teachers and mathematics curriculum materials and the first volume with this focus in any content area in several decades.
Classroom Discourse Analysis: A Functional Perspective
This book offers a model of classroom discourse analysis that uses systemic functional linguistic theory and associated genre theory to develop a view of classroom episodes as "curriculum genres", some of which operate in turn as part of larger unities of work called "curriculum macrogenres". Drawing on Bernstein's work, Christie argues that two registers operate in pedagogic discourse: a regulative register, to do with the goals and directions of the discourse; and an instructional register, to do with the particular "content" or knowledge at issue.
