Format: Online Resource

Age: Teacher’s resource.
Although this
resource states that is tied to state achievement benchmarks, the version that
my district has the subscription to offers connections to the BC
curriculum. This would stand to reason
that the resource is adapted to meet the needs of the subscribers throughout
the US and Canada.
The layout and
navigation for this resource is clear and uncomplicated. It doesn’t have the flash and colour that the
other World Book resources have besides a beautiful front page; but I find that
as a teacher, I don’t need the distraction of the extras; I just want the
resources NOW! The layout includes a straightforward
menu to guide readers through the site.
This resource includes a professional development section including videos,
the “hows” and “whys” of dramatic learning, extensions to the Dramatic Learning
resources for critical thinking, FAQs, as well as an online tutorial for using
the website.
Other sections of
this site include mini-inquiry projects, lesson plans, rubric, step-by-step how
tos, and accompanying posters and programs.
This resource is ideal for teachers who have done reader’s theatre but
would like to extend the learning and experience from simply performing plays
for practicing fluency.
