USING DRAMA EDUCATION IN CROSS CURRICULAR OBJECTIVES AT PRACTICAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

This thesis discusses the use of drama in cross-curricular objectives at practical elementary schools. Given the specifics of the target group of pupils the work is devoted to defining particular groups of handicaped children, their health disabilities, manifestations and possibilities.The area of special education is, in many respects, different from mainstream primary schools, which significantly affects education possibilities of these children.Via more detailed view on the subject of the students with disabilities I strive to provide opportunities for understanding the drama in special education.The work is divided into five chapters. The aim of this work is to show that there is also possible to use methods of drama to educate students in special education. This thesis is based on my professional experience as a special education teacher and my experience of using drama with disabled children. Three projects are components of this work, they use drama as a tool to understand the problem.The projects are also linked with Art and Craft, which are significantly represented at practical elementary school
