Overview
The answer for how to teach a play in an English literature or language arts course begins with an understanding of what drama does that is different from prose fiction, says Rocklin (California Polytechnic U., Pomona). He identifies two phases for teaching drama: first, engaging students in a sequence of activities through which they contrast prose fiction and plays and so understand the elements of drama; second, immersing students in an array of medium-specific strategies that enable them to conduct performance-centered explorations of individual plays.
