  Containing five units, each covering the core of a term's work, this coursebook for GCSE Drama is based on practical explorations of how to make, perform and appreciate plays. It uses a wide range of approaches to drama, including research, improvization, text study, critical analysis, scriptwriting, design, presentation and self-assessment. These approaches are stimulated by study extracts as varied as Raymond Briggs's Gentleman Jim , posters, poems, photo-love stories, and plays such as Athol Fugard's Master Harold...and the Boys , and John Burrows's It's a Girl! . Each unit incorporates an assignment designed to encourage students to apply their skills and knowledge in a coursework context, and a project which focuses on a particular aspect of the unit for students to investigate in greater depth.
