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.
This guide works as a center activity on an iPad or tablet, or as a small group or whole class activity. Our new guide gives you a chance to talk back, check your knowledge in interactive modules, dig deeper, and learn more about Sons of Mystro!
RESOURCE #2
INQUIRY GUIDE - MATERIALS FOR TEACHERS
The Inquiry 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.
Use the Inquiry Guide after the performance to lead discussions and dig deeper into the performance to connect back to the classroom.
The guide includes a variety of graphic organizers that help promote deeper engagement.
