Who doesn’t like a good story? One of SchoolhouseTeachers.com’s newest classes is In the Limelight. Taught by RachelAnn Rogish, author of our Simply Shakespeare course, In the Limelight is a drama course complete with acting, either with a group of friends or with Legos or dolls, depending on what is available to your student. Different works will be provided based on grade. This month’s study includes Cyrano de Bergerac for middle and high school students and Wind in the Willows for elementary grades. Enter through the Dailies tab and take a look at drama in the real world, focus on Jesus in light of drama and storytelling, and take advantage of the discussion questions located in the teacher’s guide. Another great course that deals with stories is Writing with Janice Campbell. This month she is looking at “A Leak in the Dike” by Phoebe Cary. Writing can be found under both the Pre-K/Elem and Middle/High School tabs. Students will absorb the work by reading through it a number of times, analyze it by considering the structure and thinking about the story, transform it by taking the story and retelling it in a fresh way, and then create their own work in the style of the author. Let them fill their mind with good stories.
