Drama

My first year of teaching I applied for and received a community grant to create a theater corner in my classroom, complete with wigs, costumes and unusual props. Ever since, I like to incorporate acting in my curriculum.

One of my favorite projects, inspired by my wonderful Shakespeare professor at Pomona college, is to have students act out a play in separate scenes around the school campus. See the project description here.

Sometimes I incorporate drama in simpler ways, like this reader's theater lesson plan for Huck Finn and this Macbeth tableaux.
