Safe way to try:

[Sam Marsden @SamMarsdenDrama]

Drama can be used to help teach English, history, maths, geography, acting, science, psychology, languages, linguistics, sociology, and politics. Role play and 'mantle of the expert' can get kids curious and critically engaged. It’s a great subject on its own too.
