There are Emergency Sub plans and self-guided "take-home" lessons available from Drama Teacher Academy that are worth looking into. I also recommend the theatre history videos available from PBS Crash Course Theatre.

Hello EdTA community! I'm a high school drama teacher, all boys school, and I am looking for ideas on a two week lesson that is self guided for my students. There will be a sub in the room but I'd like to have something meaningful for them to do in the two weeks that I am gone. This is an Acting II class. I was thinking of giving them a devised project, or perhaps a theatre history project but I'd appreciate some insight and feedback from those of you who have gone on a short leave in the past. Thanks for everything!
