      In new and strange siuations, 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 is 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!

      My Second Latino Monologue Book is the second title in a groundbreaking new collection designed to support K-3 students in beginning acting classes whose first language, or language most frequently spoken at home, is Spanish. 100 places -- from the soccer park to Abuela's house to under Jose's bed -- are explored in short, fun monologues, featuring a dash of Latino culture and language and sprinkled with fun illustrations throughout. Each monologue is followed by two critical thinking questions to engage the kids in the acting process: "Does your character like the place he or she is describing? Why or why not?" These questions engage young performers in analyzing the monologues, and encourages them to express opinions and discuss choices.

      My First Latino Monologue Book is the first title in a groundbreaking new collection designed to support K-3 students in beginning acting classes whose first language, or language most frequently spoken at home, is Spanish. Specific characters are featured in this collection of 100 short monologues -- people kids know, like the local hairdresser, the cop on the corner, or a boring teacher at school, and people kids probably don't know, such as an astronaut, a mad scientist, even a witch! -- requiring them to do a bit of imagining along the way. Each monologue calls for different physical movements, voices, and perspectives, encouraging young performers to take an active role in forming their own acting choices. Critical thinking questions follow each monologue, tailored as imagination or hidden-clue questions, to get young performers thinking in-depth about the character.
