Synopsis

Gross! No Fair! Confusing!In new and strange situations, it can be hard to know what to do and how to act. My First Scene Book can help! And each of the 51 one-minute scenes -- from the real to the downright silly -- is just right for five- to nine- year-olds.Like all books in My First Acting Series, My First Scene Book is interactive, featuring pictures and discussion questions. It s easy to get your family and friends involved--what do they think? Do they agree or disagree? Jump into other lives and let your imagination soar!Parents and teachers, this is an excellent way to facilitate critical thinking and character building. Though the approach is sometimes zany and unconventional (shh --no one will know they re learning!), these scenes show real issues students may encounter, provoking lively, meaningful participation. Use it for story-time and drama, reading, writing, ethics, and art classes. Be creative and have fun!Book Details:Format:

Review

Of My First Monologue Book ....Gr 2-6 Dabrowski offers short, accessible selections on common topics such as games, families, food, friends, school, and wishes. The true-to-life experiences and emotions are delivered in a child's voice and run the gamut from funny to serious. ...While there are other monologue titles for elementary children...the selections in My First Monologue Book are much shorter and easier to memorize or analyze. --School Library Journal

Of My First Monologue Book ....Monologue books for older students saturate the market, but Dabrowski offers 100 short, children-driven monologues that encompass a child's known universe (organized into games, families, food, friends, wishes). Each monologue "sounds" like a child speaks (short simple sentences with an easy vocabulary), and the students' limited life experience will not prohibit them from understanding each monologue. ----Midwest Book Reviews
