Expanding an Emotional Moment – Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief (Grades 6-8)
Students will work with a teaching artist to explore the actor’s process of storytelling and create a “campfire song,” monologue, and/or scene based on the text of a novel. This residency can also be applied to any other book that your students are reading.
English Language Arts Into Action (Grades 9-10)
English Language Arts Into Action (Grades 11-12)
The pillars of English Language Arts learning standards include reading, writing, speaking, and listening. These same elements are critical to the craft of theatre-making. This unique residency provides a collaborative instruction opportunity for a teaching artist and a classroom teacher to help students interpret literature in new and exciting ways.
