Twenty short plays feature topics and issue students face on a daily basis such as divorce, cheating on tests, judging on appearances, experimenting with cigarettes, problems with school work and grades, and much more. After students put on the play, each topic is addressed through discussion and various activities. Students are invited to express their feelings and opinions through oral presentation, art, writing, and group interaction.

Kimberly McCormick

Today's teachers play many roles, including students' advisors, parents and friends. This resource contains twenty mini-plays that address children's real lives. Actually suggested by students in Kimberly McCormick's classes, the topics in these plays deal with situations sixth through eighth-grade students face in their daily lives, including conflicts with siblings and parents, trying to understand the opposite sex, organizing school work, jealousy, supporting others, divorce, and much more. This resource also contains questions an activities that promote discussion about these topics in a friendly and open setting in which students feel comfortable talking about their feelings and experiences. These activities not only build students' self-esteem and confidence as they express themselves through oral presentation, art, writing, role-play and group discussion, but also help them develop important problem-solving skills they can use throughout their lives.
