Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Encouraging both teacher and student imagination and expression, the eighth edition of this classic text helps future teachers integrate drama into the classroom and introduces students to a variety of genres and strategies, including mime, play structure, improvisation, and using drama in the special education curriculum. Unlike other texts, McCaslin focuses on drama as an art form as well as a teaching tool.
