Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

I teach drama for grades 6, 7 and 8 for a public middle school in Queens. Because drama is a relatively new curriculum offering for our school, we need basic drama texts for the classroom. The units I have in mind include improvisation, character development, scene work, pantomime, and technical theatre. The texts that I have asked for will undoubtedly enhance my students' experiences both in the drama classroom and across the curriculum! Drama is an excellent way for students to express themselves creatively, build literacy skills and make new friends. These texts will help create and sustain a theatre program which is vital for their social development. Thank you very much for your contribution to our theatre department. Your generosity will have a monumental impact in my students' lives.
