]]> For K-3rd grade: A unique way to weave character education into your literacy curriculum!  Teachers choose from a list of picture book titles about name-calling, teasing, and relational bullying, and our teaching artists introduce creative drama strategies to bring the book to life, helping students create an important dialogue that builds a stronger and more inclusive classroom community. This residency makes a great companion to our touring production of Tomato Plant Girl.

Five (60-minute) sessions minimum

For 4th grade and up: Metro Theater Company’s teaching artists use non-competitive drama games and improvisation to help students build a safe, welcoming classroom community. Improvisational scenarios examine teasing, exclusion, name-calling and bullying, and help students create positive strategies to deal with such problems.  Residency can be integrated with specific classroom literature or curriculum unit, such as study of the Holocaust or the civil rights movement.

Five (60-minute) sessions minimum
