Do you want to direct a play, but it is too long or just not right for your group? Maybe there are too many characters? Did you know there are ways to tweak a play or shorten it to make it work for your needs?
This drama curriculum offers step-by-step instructions, examples from a scene in Macbeth and its abridged 30-minute playscript, plus additional resources to get you started!
6th grade - adults (11 lessons)
(an excerpt from pg. 1)
This curriculum is written to the teacher so you can walk alongside your student as they go through the process of writing a playscript. The first few lessons are specially designed to be interactive, but older students can break off on their own if desired after that. Keeping in mind that they will still need someone to look at their work and encourage them along the way.
I recommend this curriculum for 6th grade β adults. (Keep in mind that you are working with Macbeth, so it can be challenging for some younger students. You know your student best.) Yes, you as the teacher can enjoy writing plays too. If I can do it, so can you! Writing plays has allowed me to express my creativity and see it come to life when I directed students to perform in them. You donβt have to direct a play but may want to once you write one. π
You and your student have permission to use the portions of the scripts given as examples in this edition for your own plays. Please keep in mind that this curriculum is protected under copyright and should not be shared with others. Please send someone interested in this drama curriculum to homeschooldrama.com so they can purchase and download their own copy. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy watching your students be inspired to create.
