Watch students turn into confident stars as they engage in lively theater and dance activities -- and learn to appreciate the power and fun of performance The Teacher Resource Book integrates cross-disciplinary connections into the curriculum and methods for incorporating the performing arts into any classroom or community setting. Scripts, background information, and photos of kids "in action" are included. The Student Edition prompts students to research performance genres from fifteenth century comedy to modern film. As students engage in hands-on games and act out scripts in a non-threatening environment, they not only increase written, verbal, performing, and problem-solving skills, but also develop a positive self-image and learn to work with and respect others.
