In this eighth edition of her text, McCaslin (New York University) helps future teachers integrate drama into the classroom with a variety of genres and strategies, including mime, improvisation, and using drama in the special education curriculum. For this edition, coverage of middle school, high school, and adult learners has been expanded, and there are more sample lesson plans, activities, and journal writing prompts. A chapter on after-school programs reflects current needs, and multicultural content is integrated throughout. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
