Drama Workshop provides a flexible, cross-curricular resource meeting drama and other subject goals. It provides carefully structured drama opportunities that encourage imaginative, co-operative work.
It adopts a similar format to other School Radio drama series but develops skills and places a greater emphasis on pupils' improvisation. Units in the Autumn term link to history, PSHE and writing - both journalism and creative writing.
There are no scheduled transmissions for this series in 2008/2009 so it is not currently availble to order on CD.
