Every student has a theater job and together they'll produce an in-class performance of the play - or a scene from the play. Since all students will be participating in one way or another, a great idea is to tape it for sharing or publication.

“During these lessons, I see lots of self-directed behavior and kids themselves choosing to go that extra mile for the greater good. Many are far more intensely engaged while planning and performing this than if I asked them to intensely engage in a daily reading assignment. Even small classes don’t care that they don’t have much of an audience. And talk about being excited to come to class! You will capture and reel in reluctant learners.”
