Drama is a teaching tool that allows students to participate, demonstrate, and observe in a “controlled,” or non-threatening, environment. In other words, it provides another “non-traditional” opportunity for students to learn and to demonstrate learning. At the same time, drama helps students get in touch with their creativity and spontaneity as well as to develop confidence in the expression of their ideas. Finally, it teaches self-discipline, acceptance of and positive response to criticism, and cooperation with others.
