My First Latino Monologue Book: A Sense of Character (My First Acting Series)

My Second Latino Scene Book  builds on M. Ramirez's first scene book, with longer, more challenging every day situations. Like its predecessor, the scenes in this book are populated with characters familiar to kids and present conflicts and dilemas they can relate to, such as being the new kid at school, first time away at camp, worrying about how you look in braces, and cleaning a messy bedroom. At the beginning of each book, are acting guidelines to help children play the scenes effectively. Questions at the end of each scene encourage them to delve deeper into the situation and the characters, sparking interesting classroom discussion. Illustrations throughout for students to color. As with the monologue books, M. Ramirez weaves commonly used Spanish words and idioms into essentially English material. ABOUT THE SERIESMy First Acting Series  introduces children, ages 5 to 9, to the basic elements of acting, directing, and producing a live theatrical performance and, in so doing, teaches kids how to think critically, solve problems, and work cooperatively with their peers.This groundbreaking new series is for truly beginning actors, designed to incorporate theater and its benefits into children's lives at a young age by giving teachers and parents an accessible and applicable series with which to supplement their children's reading or social studies curriculum in a fun and interactive way.Each book builds on the one before it, so skills grow as students grow. A better alternative to Reader's Theater, My First Acting Series  is written by professional playwrights, and sufficiently engages children, encourages them to cooperate, and develops their creative expression.Within this series, the Latino/English Collection is designed to support K-3 classes that include students whose first language, or language most frequently spoken at home, is Spanish. M. Ramirez has written accessible material that weaves commonly used Latino words and idioms into essentially English material. This Latino flavor breaks down language barriers and allows Latino kids to focus on the work at hand -- learning to act -- while progressing in sync with schoolmates who are more comfortable with commonly available dramatic material.SERIES BREAKDOWNMy First Acting Series contains two collections for K-3 students. The Latino/English Collection by M. Ramirez, and the Standard/English collection by Kristen Dabrowski each include three monologue books, two scene study books, a technique book and a teacher's guide. The acting technique book includes games, exercises, and acting technique lessons; the teachers guide is complete with readymade lesson plans and suggestions on how to incorporate the material into existing curriculum.
