plan lessons to engage students in listening to radio plays, then reading, performing, and writing them.

plan lessons to engage students in identifying social issues of interest to them, researching them, gathering data to support a point of view, conduct videos, gather graphics or film clips, and combine images and audio into a film.

plan lessons to engage students in reading a classic play and adapting it to the time and place they are from, to be culturally resonant with their own experience.
