Hey – you might have missed this week of awesomeness, so here I am to tell you about it. Earlier this month, the New York Times’ Learning Network posted a week’s worth of fantastic lesson plans and resources for drama strategies to use with The New York Times. They called it Drama Week.
The articles are related to the Times but can be applied to any newspaper, any current event, any piece of literature, or even any topic at all that is being covered in your school.
