This chapter presents drama-based pedagogy as an instructional strategy to increase comprehension of a novel or informational text in a content area, to encourage collaborative discussions about a text, and to help students apply knowledge acquired from a text to one's own life and world. This essay proceeds with a brief discussion of relevant theory and research. It introduces principles that were presented during a workshop held at the Texas Association of Literacy Educators (TALE) 2017 Conference that was designed to introduce teachers to drama-based pedagogy. This chapter also provides educators guidelines for implementing this type of drama-based activity in secondary content classes.
