Making History Come Alive!
Tue, Oct 14, 3:30-6:30 pm
Longfellow Middle School,1500 Derby Street
Berkeley, $25

Offering strategies for integrating drama into the social
studies/history curriculum, this workshop engages
participants in theater games that teach geography and
role drama, effectively transporting students to other
cultures and time periods. As part of daily instruction,
these dramatic methods are designed to deepen students’
comprehension and spark their interest.
