Set Design of "In The Heights" at the Richard Rodgers Theatre The other night, I caught a performance of the Tony Award winning Broadway musical, "In The Heights" at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. It was a treat to see the performance of Lin-Manuel Miranda, the charismatic actor-writer who created the original lead role, and also wrote the songs. He has returned to the show during its final two weeks on Broadway. The high energy of the audience certainly made the experience more enjoyable that evening. It closes on January 9. The show tells of how the immigrant dreamers in the Latino-populated Manhattan neighborhood of Washington Heights discover what it means to be a community. Mr. Miranda plays the role of Usnavi, a Dominican bodega owner who guides the audience through a couple of days in the life of friends, family and lovers. The show features a salsa, merengue and hip-hop-inspired score that won Mr. Miranda a Tony Award. The show itself won the 2008 Tony Award for Best Musical.

If you're a fan of Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie books, you'll enjoy this set of materials where you and your students will discover so much about these two unlikely friends. The books themselves are at a text-level of first grade, but the concepts about relationships and life in general are big and universal, regardless of age. All the discussion questions and thinksheets are open-ended to accommodate a variety of skill level. In some cases, there are different versions of thinksheets. For example, there's a simple character map (perfect for K/1) and then another character map that asks students to provide evidence for their thinking (perfect for 2/3). In this Elephant and Piggie Pack, you'll find many ideas that support the higher-levels of thinking and communication required by rigorous literacy standards: 18 Thinksheets (asking students to compare, contrast, recall, connect, evaluate, and more... all in kid-friendly language) Suggested Discussion Questions for 6 Titles (asking children to develop logical arguments, critique characters' actions, and more... also in kid-friendly language) 10 Readers Theater Script Starters (providing opportunities for the development of comprehension and fluency) Ideas for an Elephant and Piggie Party to culminate your study (including activities that support reading, writing, listening, and speaking) NOTE: The thinksheets are open-ended and will work for any title in the series. Click on the PREVIEW above to see many of the items included in this Elephant and Piggie Pack. TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Wow! This resource has many things I didn't even think about.
