Create-A-Drama (Create-A-Story Series)

Create-a-Drama builds on the existing knowledge of and interest in television situation comedies, one-hour dramas, and made-for-TV films; theater; radio; and movies. It can be used as a unit in creative writing or as a unit on dramatic production. It may be used as it is written or it may be used in parts. Create-a-Drama will help develop students' abilities in observing, recalling, applying, analyzing, interpreting, concluding, synthesizing, and evaluating and will encourage divergent and convergent thinking. At the same time it will contribute to the development of students' oral, written, and imaginative skills, with the additional advantage of being fun. Finally, it can give students three end products-knowledge, a script, and a production-of which they will be proud.
