Feedback from Teachers

The grading rubric is very detailed. It has the ability to communicate with a student EXACTLY why they got the grade they did. ~Billy Houck

I found the lesson very easy to follow and very doable for grade 9s and seniors. (I love the picture you have as a prompt – I had all kinds of ideas about what I could write in a monologue.) ~Marybeth Pidgeon

The tasks and order make complete sense! ~Allison Green

Many of their monologues were so rich and a few blew me away! It really helped the playwrights to dig further into their character which lead to them ‘learning’ more about them. In turn, they found additional ways to develop their plot, reveal more, and enrich the conflict. We loved it! I will continue utilizing on all levels. Thank you! ~Roxanne Caravan

One of the things I really like is that it is simple and easy to prepare for the teacher. I think a teacher is much more likely to pick up a lesson that can be executed easily and effectively. Also, if it can be left for a sub (who may or may not have prior experience teaching Theatre) that is a great plus. I think that is most certainly the case with this lesson. ~Christian Kiley

I especially love the bus stop scene writing idea in small groups. That seems a non-intimidating approach to forming a character from “scratch.” ~Connie Travis Voight
