Paper Summary:

The paper explains that drama is one of the literary forms that can be used to help students access both elements of literary history and a critical understanding of the text. Reading comprehension is only one aspect of understanding what is read and poetry, fiction and drama can be used to good effect to increase comprehension based not just on the words used but on what more is meant by the words in the text. The paper stresses how drama is especially useful because it involves performance and so can help in accessing the meaning of a text, both by forcing a closer reading from the first and second by providing another means of accessing the text in performance.
