 Book-It All Over Residencies
Bring Classroom Literature to Life!
A Book-It All Over residency is a long-term, customized program where students explore literature and bring it to the stage. Each program is designed with the classroom teacher to address specific curricula, academic standards, and student needs. All residencies feature professionally trained Book-It teaching artists and culminate in a final performance of the literature. Students explore literacy elements such as character, setting, plot, theme and point of view to gain a deeper understanding of a book while making it come alive on stage.
Residencies create collaborative class environments, providing students with a toolbox of useful skills for the future: cooperation, collaboration and problem solving. Through the marriage of literature and theatre, the program challenges and inspires students to analyze and interpret text in a highly personal, fun and physical way!
"I think that this Book-It [residency] has made me grow emotionally – I feel like I can easily share my ideas, concerns, etc. I also feel like this experience has helped me overcome my fear of performing in front of others, or being afraid of being heard or projecting my voice. This performance has been great!"
