All the books in my first acting series have interactive exercises and games. But the Teachers Guide goes much further, providing suggestions and in-depth guidance for using the series to maximum effect in the classroom. Inside, you'll find: Building Blocks: general ideas and suggestions for creating great lessons; Critical Exercises: activites and games to help students interpret and evaluate text; Imaginative Exercises: activities and games to help students creatively build on the text, generating brand-new ideas; Work Sheets: a variety of fun and exciting activities that encourage students to interpret characters and texts and make decisions-all ready to photocopy direct form the book and distribute; Sample Lesson Plans: fourteen detailed lesson plans that show you how to draw it all together. These plans help you to either build a lesson around my first acting series or to add my first acting series to your regular lessons. The Teachers Guide coupled with my first acting series, will help you increase student particpation and enhance your teaching, whether your subject is drama, reading, writing, ethics, social studies, science, math, or art each exercise, activity, and game has been classroom tested-they work!
