Stageit! Shakespeare Acting Tools for Students - Othello Grades 5-8 Floyd Rumohr First edition

A classic tale of jealousy -- the green-eyed monster that devours Othello's soul!

This royalty free acting edition is for students in U. S. Grades 5-8 (ages 10-13) to prepare for and act in a forty-minute abridged school play using Shakespeare's original text. There are nine characters, including the Chorus, that appear in the STAGEiT! acting edition though parts can be double cast (requiring fewer students) or cast in choral character teams (requiring more students).

An entire chapter in student friendly language describes how to use the Tools. Use of nouns, verbs, adjectives, similes, and metaphors is explored and may be of interest for adult readers who want to learn more about how these devices are used in Othello. Additional features include: Cast of Characters (with pronunciations), Plot Synopsis, Paraphrasing Worksheets, and Acting Scripts with a chapter about The Rehearsal Process, which includes how to note stage movement, and The Culminating Performance.

STAGEiT! is conceived as a comprehensive series of interconnected companion titles. A Professional Development Guide and Directing Tools for Teachers of Grades 5-8 are available separately.
