Publisher's Synopsis
This 2nd edition has been updated to be gender-neutral, better organized, and include modern technology and social media. Even better, the Student Workbook is just that... an individual workbook for each student, loose-leaf, three-hole-punched, and ready to drop into a binder. We've designed this book to fit the budgetary considerations of schools, making it available at a fraction of the price of other Theatre 1 textbooks.
We retained all the elements that made the first edition of this book a top-selling theatre arts curriculum text year after year. You'll still find the daily bell work, fun puzzles, and quizzes and tests that you've come to rely on to make classroom management more effortless. This classroom-tested, year-long curriculum covers the entire spectrum of theatre: theatre history, scene work, acting, characterization, publicity, play production, games and improvisations, and more. It is designed to help teachers organize and energize their Theatre 1 class, engaging students in learning by doing.The second edition of the Teacher's Guide is also better laid out, with the notes to the teacher now appearing alongside the corresponding student page. No more flipping back and forth between pages! Four additional sections in the Teacher's Guide make this student-friendly text also very teacher-friendly: teaching tools, evaluation tools, production tools, and tests and projects.
