Classroom success stories from other teachers who have tried this resource:
♥ "This worked well. I didn't use the matching as a quiz--just as an opener to review at start of class day after notes. I like the prepared sketch notes option as it exposes students to this option without stressing them out over drawing/etc. I gave students option to use or do regular notes. I printed and laminated a few sets of the example cards to have groups sort. Using the QR codes as a self-check is a good option and would allow you to even use this as a sub plan."
♥ "Really good for introducing students to elements of drama, used with my 9th grade students."
♥ "Excellent resource that is very comprehensive."
♥ "This is an excellent resource. Thorough enough for me to use as the classroom teacher but it would be great for a sub to review. Great job!"
♥ "Love the doodle notes. An easy way for my middle school kids to get/keep the notes for elements of drama. Coupled with all the other resources, this was a great purchase for teaching drama."
♥ "My students LOVED this unit all because of this helpful lesson!! I spread them out across a span of 5-6 days. It really helped them to understand drama!"
♥ "I used this lesson in class last week. After the sorting activity, my students had a whole group discussion of the answers and examples---they appreciated reading real, canonical works, and really learned the material. They also loved performing the skits! This lesson was well prepared, and followed all the essential elements of a great lesson structure."
♥ "This was a HUGE time saver for my drama unit! I (and my family) thank you!"
♥ "This saved me so much time. I added in movie clips of the examples you gave and my kids got a kick out of it. Thanks!"
