Teachers comments
"For me these plays modify conventional methods of teaching and because they are different help switch students onto learning."
"I've found roleplays a great way to introduce lesson content. Students more easily relate to a character and discuss their personal or emotional needs with other students in the classroom."
"Drama helps all students to be involved and take part in a class. I recommend them."
