Process drama in school settings usually involves the whole class working with the teacher in role in a made-up scenario.
Students learn to think beyond their own points of view and consider multiple perspectives on a topic through playing different roles.
Playing a range of positions encourages them to be able to recast themselves as the "other" and to consider life from that viewpoint, thereby creating complexity and enabling us to explore multiple dimensions of the topic.
Process drama allows us to "try on" other people's shoes, to walk the paths they tread and to see how the world looks from their point of view.
Process drama is also suggested as a tool to promote literacy development in secondary school [12] and through opportunities for dramatic play in early childhood settings within which children speak for a range of purposes in role.
