Dawson, Kathryn, and Bridget Kiger Lee. Drama-Based Pedagogy: Activating Learning across

the Curriculum. Intellect, 2018.

This is the textbook that I use for pedagogy classes, it also contains information that is

relevant to current theatre teachers as well. Pedagogy is different techniques that are used

in order to better teach a class, this one in particular is based around creative drama. In

this book the authors break down different pedagogy methods that can be used by theater

teachers in order to go from creative based drama to performance based theatre. This is a

trade source because of the way that it includes different activities that you can do with

your students in order to teach theatre properly to students in a building block manner.

The text also makes use of venn diagrams and graphs in order to show statistics that help

to create a better idea of how to better use this information in a classroom.

This is an academic journal that talks about different pedagogy benefits of applied drama.

This information pertains to my research because it has to do with the benefits that students

get from theatre. It also not only talks about how drama pedagogy is used in a theatre
 classroom but also in traditional classrooms. This text also makes use of talking about

drama in prisons and industrial settings in order to benefit the affected parties to make them

feel more connected. This can be used as well because it references literature and how it is

used in theatre.

This is an academic journal that talks not only about performing on stage but also in film.

This is an important aspect of acting that is often missed because of the fact that it is easier

to act on stage in many ways then in film. This can be used because teaching theatre for the

stage versus film can be very different in the aspects of voice and movement. This can be

useful because it can be used in a schooling aspect in order to use different methods in order

to teach acting with a camera versus on a stage with a live audience.

This is a book that talks about the pedagogy of theatre in teaching kindergarten through 12th

grade and even higher education. This book also talks about the reflective aspects of theatre

and the ways that they are taught in the classroom. This book also includes different things

like diagrams that explain theatre. This book will be very useful when it comes to explaining

how that drama based method turns into theatre performance over the course of a students

school life.
Reflection:

I personally had never done an annotated bibliography before so this was a new experience for

me. I struggled with the formatting before being corrected on it and adjusting my bibliography to

fit those standards. Overall I found it pretty easy to describe the sources that I chose because they

go so well with my discipline and discourse community. Although finding the sources in the first

place was difficult because there is such little done on theatre education specifically for theatre

educators that is applicable to this project I was able to find some really good sources to pull

from. I think overall my annotated bibliography turned out well because I was able to find and

describe sources that would work well with this project after specific digging for them in the

databases. As for the future when I do annotated bibliographies I want to be sure that I am able to

use the source because I went through the first time and found sources but they turned out not to

be a good fit for this project so I had to go back and find new sources so in the future I want to

make sure that the source is good for what I am doing or else this would be a useless source.
