What teachers like you are saying:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This resource provides the 'quick & dirty' of a drama, without the dragging on process of a 2-3 month unit. I also love that it provides teamwork and empathy, as my kids need to continue to realize the world doesn't revolve entirely around them!" -Victoria R.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This was a miracle! I was asked to cover Taming of the Shrew, but I was concerned about the content with my 7th graders. This adaptation allowed me to edit out any other dialogue I was concerned about using while still exposing my students to a rigorous analysis of the literary devices of Shakespeare.” -Becky G.
