Instructional Ideas
  • Use the manual as the basis for an entire course or select individual activities to supplement your drama curriculum
Classroom Considerations
  • The 92-page syllabus outlines an entire one-semester course
  • Requires individual copies of Mitch Alborn's Tuesdays with Morrie and access to the movie of the same name
Pros
  • Class members script, design a set for, and stage Tuesdays with Morrie 
Cons
  • Relies heavily on lecture format
  • No models or links to models of blocking, costume, set, or lighting design are included
