Everything you need to get dramatic in the classroom This easy-to-use, comprehensive teacher-resource book has lesson plans and practical activities that integrate theater into language learning. Plus ten original scripts so you can put the activities into action immediately! Drama and play scripts can be used to teach pronunciation, pragmatics, and other communication skills, as well as provide grammar and vocabulary practice! Conveniently organized into two parts, Part 1 includes pragmatics mini-lessons, community builders, drama games, and pronunciation activities. There are also lesson plans for producing a play (either fully-staged or as Reader's Theater), as well as guidelines and activities for writing plays to use with (or without students,) and suggestions for integrating academic content. You’ll even find rubrics and evaluation schemes for giving notes and feedback. Part 2 includes 10 original monologues and scripts of varying lengths that can be photocopied and used in the classroom. Specifically designed to feature everyday language and high frequency social interactions, these scenes and sketches follow engaging plot arcs in which characters face obstacles and strive to achieve objectives. With a foreword by Ken Wilson, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in using the performing arts to help students become more confident and fluent speakers.

Beatrice thinks she has no acting talent but that doesn't stop her from auditioning for the annual middle school play. She has two missions-winning the role of Pocahontas (which guarantees her popularity with the cool kids, at least in her mind) and grabbing the attention of her estranged father. Easy! Except Michiko, a new girl from Japan, shows up and ruins everything! So begins Beatrice's diabolical and hilarious plan to scare away Michiko. But Michiko has goals of her own with no plans to leave soon. Beatrice is sometimes sarcastic, sometimes very funny and always honest. A great book for those who love theater and every part of it--the good, the bad and the crazy.

In this first handbook, and those to follow, my aim is to share my personal experiences with you, the actor, in hopes of helping you find your way and sustain yourself in this profession. The question of what we do and why we do it can be a challenging question, particularly when faced with certain audiences. As an actor, you may exude great confidence on stage, only to reveal yourself as an incredibly shy and private individual offstage. So what drives us to pursue this craft of assuming different personas and performing in front of audiences? This question has plagued me for over four decades, and I still don't have a concrete answer. Perhaps it's a need to explore ourselves or a desire to express ourselves to others from some sort of monophobia. Maybe it's an uncontrollable urge to reveal our innermost feelings from behind a mask. Or maybe it's just an innate passion for performing. Whatever the reason may be, as actors, we often face a host of challenges and complexities that are not immediately apparent to the outside world. Within these pages, I hope to provide some answers and guidance to help you navigate these challenges and find fulfillment in your chosen path.

Ethical and Legal Issues in Counseling Children and Adolescents provides counselors and other professionals with clinical cases and accurate, up-to-date information on both ethical standards and case law.

The book is a vital resource for faculty who recognize the limited scope with which other texts cover the topic and for practitioners looking to better understand the legal and ethical concerns around working with young people.
