Top-rated by teachers and students.
For example, Emily W. says: “This was a great unit for my 8th grade Theatre students. We ended the year with many of these ideas, and it was some of the best performances we’ve had all year, lots of creativity.”
In my classroom, students rated “From Puns to Parody” as a Favorite Unit of the year.)
