    Making the video for MR7

    MUSIC ROOM - Book 7

    We have had fun making the video tracks for Music Room 7. Just a few little "moments" captured.

    It won't be long now - looks like mid June for the launch. The final proof of the book has been passed and it is in the hands of the printers. Post production of the audio and video tracks is coming on well.

    Drama Activity for you

    Take 2 Drama Resources

    Our activity this month is from Take 2 by Diana Greentree
    2 actors - 2 pages - 2 minutes
    A fabulous collection of 14 fun and easy drama sketches for the classroom.

    We have the Teacher's Notes for the package, and the script and video
    from one of the drama sketches.

    The scripts can be used either as film scripts or as stage scripts
    (in the classroom or at assemblies/concerts). Their short length (
    approximately 2 minutes reading time) means they can be read within a lesson.
    They can also be used as springboards for students to write their own scenes.

    The Teacher's notes are a great help if you want to video these productions.
    Follow the links from here
