Many of the topics included in the KS4 citizenship  curriculum are the stuff of which drama is made!  Subjects such as law & order, politics & power and  the role of the media provide excellent opportunities  for developing understanding through the creation  of dramatic work.  Drama activities also help to build confidence,  which will enable learners to participate effectively in  discussions as well as developing their skills of  enquiry and communication. Drama will allow  exploration of concepts through practical activities  allowing the learners to investigate and try out a  range of situations and scenarios.  This course will introduce the teacher to a  range of useful techniques and provide  resources for using practical drama activities  in the teaching and assessing of the KS4  Citizenship.
