Title: Great Book!!!!
Product review: This is an awesome book! This book uses dramatic activities and process drama to explore the African American heritage. Each chapter is written by different teaching artists and/or educators who have actually used their lessons with students. The chapters are filled with their philosophy of using drama, why they chose a certain pre-text as well as the actual activity they implemented. Some chapters conclude with additional resources to help apply and understand the activity. Other chapters involve additional steps to specifically assist classroom teachers. The pretexts vary from African American folktales, pictures, songs, poetry, historical events and literature. Most of the chapters also provide the pretext. Unit 6 discusses using dramatic actives to deepen students understanding of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor.
