Today I approved the offering of a number of theatre textbooks for elementary schools on our website. They’re specifically for elementary school drama programs or classroom use. We thought about this quite a bit and decided that our selection of drama textbooks needed more of these books. I’ve worked with quite a few elementary schools in Denver and I normally used Theatre Machine, one of our most popular books. However, we just didn’t have items targeted for younger kids.
Many people ask me how Pioneer Drama Service finds them. The main person who finds these books is Becca, an education specialist at Pioneer. She works with many publishing companies. They send her numerous books and she evaluates them. From there, when she has found a book that she thinks would be a tremendous resource for teachers, drama directors or actors, we offer them. Thanks to Becca, I think we have a great selection.
With appropriate vocabulary and sentence structure for young readers, these 40 short scripts are a delightfully entertaining addition to any elementary classroom.
In this book of activities, you have everything you need to introduce elementary students to four popular plays: A Midsummer Night?s Dream, Macbeth, Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet.
