"Behind the Scenes:  Turning a Novel into a Play"
Would you like your students to learn how to think and work together as theatrical collaborators (writers, directors, designers, actors)? Back by popular demand, this process encourages your students to take on artistic roles to turn a “scene” from a novel** into a short play. You will receive a “Behind the Scenes” guide for each student outlining what activities they need to complete for the DL session. Then, your students’ scenes will be presented during the session. Your students will enjoy creative decision-making while gaining an understanding of the theatrical performance. Additionally, they will reflect on their role as audience members.

"Careers in the Arts"
Did you know there are over 300 arts related careers? CMH will  offer ideas of what subject areas should be studied for art related careers and will help students realize the impact the arts has on all careers. Students and teachers will receive a study guide prior to the session to help students prepare questions about arts careers.
