Some of you know that I teach middle school chorus, orchestra, and now guitar…what you probably don’t know is that I was supposed to co-teach Musical Theatre with the drama teacher, but he moved on and got a better job elsewhere, but I’m still stuck with this theatre class. Don’t get me wrong, I love theatre and have some experience in it, but I do not have experience in teaching it, and I was not prepared for this class when school started. Some of the students want to be in the class, but many do not, and though there aren’t any truly bad kids in there, they can be a bit rowdy! In looking up some information on lessons to do with them on character development and archetypes, I stumbled across LearnZillion. This website has videos and other resources to help you teach! It looks good so far, but I am continuing to explore the site. I meant to have my lessons done by now (8pm, EST), but I’ve barely started! I wanted to share this resource with you before I forgot. I hope it is useful to you!
Here’s the video that helped me discover the site:
Enjoy!
