RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENT EXPLORATION
RESOURCE #1 INTERACTIVE GUIDE - MATERIALS FOR STUDENT EXPLORATION
Use our new interactive guide before you come to the performance to familiarize students with the context, characters, and performance they are about to see on stage.
RESOURCE #2 TEACHER GUIDE - MATERIALS FOR SUPPORTING DISCUSSION
The Teacher Guide contains big picture Enduring Understandings related to the themes of the performance as well as Inquiry Questions that explore wonderings about the performance and art form, links to social studies or science topics, and finally, connections to the self.
