For drama teachers
Take what you need
Elementary drama. One specialist, one room.
When I started, almost everything written for drama teachers was written for high school. There was very little for a PreK through 8 specialist working alone in a black box, so I built what I needed. It's here. Use it, change it, and don't credit me if that's awkward at your school.
Projects
Things students make, from a single class period to a full unit. Radio Drama, Jabberwocky, production roles, set design. Some are complete unit plans with rubrics. Some are just the idea and enough detail to steal it.
BrowseGames
Every game with its rules, a level-up variation, and debrief questions, sorted by what the game is actually teaching. No filler warm-ups.
BrowseSystems
The structures that hold a room together. Participation grading built for the quiet kid and the kid who never stops talking. Call-backs, freeze cues, transitions, and how students run their own materials.
BrowseThe room
What's in my black box, what it cost, and what you can skip. The found-materials list, the DMX setup, and the order I teach third graders to call cues.

For anyone in their first year of teaching drama. Planning templates, a first-week plan, and the short list of things that go wrong first. Built out of mentoring residents through the CPS Residency Program.
