On the afternoon of September 25th, all High School English teachers took part in an interactive Professional Development session with SHSID Drama expert Paul Deichmann.

Paul gave an innovative insight into how drama can be used to aid students' understanding of Shakespeare and how scripts can come to life in the classroom.

Whilst the techniques were set in the context of Shakespeare's plays, the activities were in fact applicable to a wide range of literary texts. The teachers left very excited to try out these ideas and embrace these exciting practices.
