Drama and Drawing for Narrative Writing in Primary Grades.

Moore, Blaine H.; Caldwell, Helen

Journal of Educational Research, v87 n2 p100-10 Nov-Dec 1993

This study compared the effects of drama and drawing planning activities with a traditional planning activity (discussion) on the quality of second and third graders' narrative writing. After 15 sessions, researchers found that drama and drawing were effective forms of rehearsal for narrative writing and more successful than discussion. (SM)
