Scripts for Classroom Set

Funded Nov 13, 2013

When the bright orange scripts arrived my students burst into applause. As each period passed I became more and more grateful of your donations. Each class was overjoyed with the gift many uttering "that's so cool, miss!". Many students expressed they have never felt the kindness of strangers.

Right now, the students have finished reading the script and are currently creating a soundtrack for a movie adaptation of the one act. They wrote tandem monologues and performed the monologues with their partner. In doing so, the students learned the Stanislavski System of acting including objectives, super objective, tactics and motivation. The student's final project will be a complete scene study with actors and directors.

Since the arrival of the scripts, my students have been connecting concepts learned in school with their lives outside of class. The students tell me they have motivation to read and discover. They have a vested interest in the lives of the characters. They laugh, "awww", and cry along with the characters. Their confidence has soared and they are more willing to participate in class. My teaching is easier because I have a constant reference and materials we can return to.

Thank you yet again for your donation.”

With gratitude,
