An important part of my teaching experience has dealt with integrating drama with the core academic areas of the school curriculum. The collaboration with teachers of music, art, reading, and English has been a worthwhile and positive undertaking. Now I will add Social Studies to the list, with a unit focusing on history, civics and sociology in a theatrical setting. While studying American political thought in their drama classes, students will also have a chance to perform what they have studied in school assemblies throughout the months of January (Martin Luther King Day), February (President’s Day and Black History Month Celebrations), and March (Women in the Arts Month Celebrations).
