I recently stumbled across this and felt as though I had to share it here. Below you will find a video of what these two teachers did. They took both playwriting and science and made it work in the classroom. Maybe playwriting isn't dead after all. They also have a blog (Who knew blogs could be so useful). Finding this has definitely made me a happy researcher.
THEIR BLOG
Christopher! How convenient it is for you to have found a video that proves to you playwriting in classrooms can still exist. Just from sitting next to you in class I can see how passionate you are about this topic (not to mention, your "The Arrival" writing assignment that incorporated theatre was impressive)..I feel as if your search will only make your future classroom fun to engage in and leave your students feeling creative and inspired. I like how your taking a twist on this journey and incorporating your own passions to make sure that playwriting can still exist in classrooms. As far as I can see, your journey only shows that it can and should be utilized more often, if it stimulates creativity and inspires writing, why not?
