ÒThis play is FUN!Ó ThatÕs what your students will say when they read it IN CLASS. ItÕs a READ ALOUD PLAY, so they do it together; itÕs SOCIAL reading. They BECOME the people, they DO the actions, so it all SINKS IN.
ItÕs EASY TO READ for students grades 6-12. It works especially well with LATINOS and equally well with GIFTED students.
And itÕs EASY FOR THE TEACHER-- you just follow the detailed instructions. Fewer control issues arise since the play keeps their attention.
Think of this is LIKE A NOVEL youÕd do in class. ItÕs about a sixth-grade reading level, but itÕs written so as to interest young adults. It should take about the same time as a novel, but it will be much more engaging I promise.
