This is What I've "Scene": Theatrical Depictions of Survivor Stories

6

Author: National Jewish Theater Foundation

Grade Level: 9-12

Students will develop historical narrative monologues using the IWitness testimonies of Holocaust survivors, witnesses and liberators.

Also, they will learn how to construct a monologue using a given oral text, and will learn how to dramatically enhance the presentation of that monologue by creating and staging tableaus – or “stage pictures” – which give the monologue added a visual interest and help to illuminate the stories.
