I have found another gem in my professional reading collection.Sheree North, Teacher-Librarian at The Sterling Hall School in Toronto, writes about drama's role in developing social and emotional growth for boys.
As always, there is added value in her article as she includes explanations about how talk and journal writing contribute to social and emotional growth as part of the process. Read the full article.
Quotes:
"...drama allows students to initiate meaningful talk, to explore the social functions of language" Page 60
"...for boys graphics, visuals, dramatic self-expression all have positive effects on boys" Page 60

"...getting a boy into keeping a journal is a wonderful thing, we must help our boys make a story of their lives" Page 63
