Drama and the English Theme
Abstract
Given the nature of ‘English’ as a curricular area, it is not surprising to find that so many teachers of English organise their work around a theme of one sort or another. English can lack the structure and rationale of a more linear subject such as mathematics or history and can appear rather fragmented and inconsequential if a framework is not imposed to discipline its breadth. The theme offers such a framework, which is tight enough to impart coherence and cohesion, yet loose enough to allow scope for choice, initiative and creativity, key considerations for the teacher of English and drama.
