Abstract	Strategies and techniques for teaching history and stimulating secondary school students' awareness of and interest in the past is the focus of this document. Using drama as a tool enhances learning and maintains interest and attention by designing and acting out appropriate settings, historical circumstances, dramatic action, and historical characters. Drama is an imaginative way to involve students in exploring an historical experience and attaining and using research and inquiry skills. General procedures are included for: introducting the activity; setting due dates and length of time for the activity; grouping students; choosing a topic; discussing expected assignments; explaining how to collect data; and reviewing guidelines for designing each play. A guide is presented for the development of a Reader's Theatre that outlines characterization, plot development, and dialogue. A complete description of a classroom project, "Rosa Parks's Experiences in Montgomery, Alabama," is included as well as step-by-step guidelines for the "Living Newspaper Theatre Guidelines." (NL)
