Synopsis

"Dramatic Readings For Schools: A Practice Book In Dramatics" by Marion Florence Lansing is a practical handbook for classroom drama. First published in 1914 by The Macmillan Company, it gathers a broad repertoire of short plays and dramatic readings designed to be enacted by students in school settings. The volume guides teachers and pupils through a progressive program that combines ready-to-dramatize stories, teacher notes, and a careful progression from simple dialogues to more developed dramatizations. Part One offers Indian and other traditional tales, fables, and short dramas such as How All the Animals Tried to Make Man, Hans, the Shepherd Boy, The Story That Had No End, The Brahman, the Tiger, and the Six Judges, The Man, the Boy, and the Donkey, and A Visit to the Water Babies, with Helps for Dramatization to aid instruction. Part Two moves to English legends and classic scenes, including How England Found Her King, The Necklace of Truth, The Miller of the Dee, Alice’s Adventures with the Queens, and Scenes from Pinocchio. Part Three provides longer plays like King John and the Abbot. The book emphasizes dramatization as a means to enrich reading, speaking, imagination, and ethical understanding.
