Immediately order
Schoolhouse Rock Jr.from MTI Jr.
Kids can work for most of the rest of the year in class and produce the show for the other grade levels.
You will be a rock star with the principal because even the most rowdy kids will be on task and having fun. . The rest of the teachers will love you because the kids will learn all sorts of good things and the MTI resources are so good a monkey could direct the show!!
This will require a small outlay of funds by the school but an administration that has had a class in flux for so long would eagerly find 1000 to solve the issue and create good will with the faculty and parents.
Best of all you will have a lot of fun making it happen!!!
Kids can wear t shirts and jeans to perform and all of the props and scenery is either non-existent or easily brainstormed and created by kids.
Best of luck!!

Good Afternoon
I am new to this forum. I have accepted a job as a long term sub for a middle school theater arts class. My background is in history and I have very little experience in this area. I was approached by the school staff about this position because they need someone in the class who can control and organize the students. They have been without a permanent teacher since November and have subs changes often. I want to be able to offer the students some stability in their class and accepting this position until it can be filled seemed like the best option.
I am not one to pass up a challenge and this appears it will be a really tough one. The school has virtually not curriculum for the class and the students have been coloring or doing other classes assignments during this time. I want to change this. I want to give the students a reason to come to class and something to look forward to. I am not opposed to any suggestions.
Can anybody out there share some lesson plans, ideas, projects, layouts - Anything actually??? I am willing to accept any ideas y'all might have that will make this class something other than a study hall period. My email is jeffreyfjohnson@yahoo.com
Thank you
Jeff Johnson
