NEW BOOKS BY AATE MEMBERS

Drama Activities for K-6 Students: Creating Classroom Spirit by Milton Polsky, Dorothy Napp Schindel and Carmine Tabone, is an important new addition to your arsenal of hands-on accessible guides. Published by Rowman and Littlefield Education, this 'peace education through drama handbook' focuses on classic and original stories, myths, poems, paintings and familiar writings that embody themes of peace. Expert ideas for transforming these varied works into plays and other dramatic activities are presented by the authors, all of whom are nationally recognized drama specialists. Conflict resolution, bullying, caring and sharing, inter-cultural understanding, cooperation and collaboration, are explored through hundreds of imaginative strategies developed and tested in classrooms throughout the New York City metropolitan area and beyond. Published in hard cover and paper back both here and in England, and targeted to classroom teachers, community leaders and drama specialists, the book is available through the publisher at: www.rowmaneducation.com/ISBN/1578864445 or at www. amazon.com.
