Moon is a collection of play scripts aimed at pupils from the agesof 11 to 14.It may be used in English or Drama lessons,as a basis for readingor analysis,discussion or performance.While it should be useful for a widerange of situations,the particular hope is that it will be useful for teachers ofEnglish without a specific drama background,who nonetheless wish to tackledrama work with their classes in a serious,sustained fashion.  \nThe play Looking for the Moon was based on an entry in the Chronicle of theWorld.It describes the Chinese poet Li Bai,who was a favourite at theEmperor's court,but who died in a drunken stupor,wading into a lake,looking for the moon.Looking for the moon is a dangerous errand,but it is onewe all understand.In some ways plays are that kind of exploration,an urgent,risky search for meaning in a threatening,uncertain world.  \nDrama shows us different worlds.In an obvious social sense,it can showus life in eighth century China (Looking for the Moon).But it also shows us theworlds of other people,the way a family situation might look to each of themembers of that family(Maybe Tomorrow),or the mix between fantasy andreality which can fluctuate within one human brain (Legend in my Lifetime).  \n## IMPROVISATION AND SCRIPTS\n\nThis is a collection of scripts,but it also includes suggestions for improvisa-tion.Some pupils welcome the freedom that gives them to make up their ownwords,and to work without the constraints of paper.Through improvisationgroups can explore ideas,feelings and situations directly and create originalpieces of their own.All pupils should work in that way some of the time.  \nBut there are different gains,which can only be achieved by working withscripts.The script stays there on the page;it is the same for each member ofthe group,and guarantees them a secure role in the action.It can be takenaway for homework,and it will still be there when you look at it next lesson.  \nIt allows you to become familiar with it,to build up confidence and under-standing through purposeful repetition.It also allows individuals to do soli-tary thinking and composition which would be very hard to achieve throughimprovisation.  \nThere is no point in forcing a sterile choice between improvisation andscri","cbCaieakli5KNNjA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieakli5KNNjA","pdf",3999573,116,"English","# Plays
