IMPROVISATIONS IN CREATIVE DRAMA
Betty Keller. Meriwether Publishing Ltd., 1987.
A collection of Creative Drama lessons-enough for at least a year's work. The focus here is mainly Theatre training, but with a healthy dose of process-oriented work. If you are looking for ready-made lessons that WORK, this book has them.

DRAMATHEMES: Practical Guide for Teaching Drama
Larry Swartz. Heinemann Educational Books, Inc., 1988.
An excellent text that will help you construct Drama lessons to support a wide variety of themes and curricular areas. The book includes actual, useable lessons, but its strength is in the way Swartz makes Drama out of subject matter.
