Drama Script & Cards to Teach Divergent, Parallel, and Convergent Lines
This is a dramatized version of a story that famous educator Maria Montessori created. It was recorded by Michael J.

You do not need to be a Montessori school or own Monte

Script: The Not-So-Famous Fables of Bob Aesop
This script was originally written for a 5th and 6th grade drama class. It can be performed by a group as small as 5 or as large as 20+. I write things to be performed by an ensemble - no stars.
