It’s a decent resource (bc as she says in her intro, there’s not a lot out there for theatre classes), but it didn’t have everything I was looking for. I wanted a resource where I could find interactive lessons and projects and teaching units ready to go. A lot of these things felt a little dry to me. There are some items I am going to use, but some things will go into a sub folder so I have plans when I’m out (bc that’s pretty impossible for an unexpected call-off the way I teach my class). Also, we are a one-to-one technology school, and I didn’t see anything in here that would translate well to technology use.
I think if someone is starting from nothing and maybe without much theatre experience or teaching/directing experience, this resource would be more useful. For me, a veteran teacher, theatre participant, and director of school plays/musicals, I didn’t find it as useful. Still 3 star bc there are some items that can go into my rotation.
