The objective of the analysis is to verify the selections that have been made and the methodology predicted and well as made effective for teaching. The work is part of the History of School Disciplines area led by Andre Chervel and Bruno Belhoste, which considers school textbooks a privileged resource of contents that affects pedagogical practice and constitute the school culture. I develop the material analysis of the books by taking Roger Chartier as a theoretical reference, to identify editorial devices that reveal strategies and intentions of the reader's use of the work. The research highlighted devices by which textbooks have come to guide readings and uses, as well as the ways in which they have appropriated notions known as "object lessons / Este trabalho analisa exemplares de livros escolares que veicularam conteúdos de ciências destinados à instrução pública elementar entre os séculos XIX e XX. O objetivo da análise é verificar os conteúdos selecionados e a metodologia prevista e efetivada para o ensino. O trabalho se insere na área da História das Disciplinas Escolares, tributária de André Chervel e Bruno Belhoste, que considera os livros escolares fontes privilegiadas de conteúdos que se inserem na prática pedagógica, constituindo a cultura escolar. Com base em Roger Chartier, fazem-se análises materiais dos livros para identificar dispositivos editoriais reveladores de estratégias e intencionalidades de usos da obra pelos leitores. A pesquisa evidenciou dispositivos pelos quais os livros escolares passaram a orientar leituras e usos, bem como as maneiras pelas quais eles se apropriaram de noções disseminadas como “lições de coisas”

Children learn through doing, and using drama in the elementary classroom gets children actively learning in all subjects (Wood, 2000). A large amount of research has been done on the benefits of incorporating drama into the classroom to enhance academic subjects. However, few teachers incorporate drama on a regular basis. The purpose of this project was to investigate the benefits and ways of incorporating drama into the traditional elementary school classroom, specifically intermediate elementary grades. The benefits of this were examined and the means to make incorporating drama possible for every teacher were explored. The outline of the thesis began with a section on the rationale for incorporating drama, focusing on the social and academic benefits for all children. This was followed by information on the basics of theatre and the description of activities that are considered a part of drama in' the classroom. The incorporation of drama in the specific subjects of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies was covered along with sample lesson plans for each. The goal is that any teacher reading this thesis will gain some of the skills, information, and confidence needed to use drama in his or her elementary classroom.
