Edmiston

I thought what Edmiston did with drama was very interesting. I liked how they did a lot of role play and research to get students involved and creative. I think that this could be helpful in regards to imagination and literature. On the other hand, I'm not sure this would work any higher than 6th grade? I believe that students much older would not get into enough for the activity to be effective. I can't see high school students doing research outside the class or coming in with crafts going with the activity without being asked. Any ideas on how to light the same fire under older students with this project of drama?
