This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dramatic Stories for Reading and Acting Learning to read is more than learning to recog nize and pronounce printed words. Reading In a listless manner is a dull and unprofitable exercise. In teaching children to read, the good primary teacher seeks, therefore, by furnishing an incentive through interesting material, and by stimulating intelligent and reasoned activity, to prevent discouragement and to banish ennui. Hence the value of selections that are dramatic in quality, and, to some extent, dramatic in form; for they encourage the children to read as if they were participants in the action of the story. Such material satisfies the child's love of action, stim ulates his imagination, and, by keeping his faculties alert, helps him to read with understanding and with intelligent inflection. Thus the gap between the spoken language of his daily life and the printed lan guage of the page is bridged over, and reading be comes to him a real way of acquiring and conveying ideas.

Download or read book Quaint Old Stories to Read and Act Classic Reprint written by Marion Florence Lansing and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-18 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quaint Old Stories to Read and Act When the story is being read, the teacher, or a child who represents the story-teller, will read these action sentences (which are set off by spaces), and the story will move smoothly as a connected narrative. When the story is to be acted, these explanatory paragraphs will drop out naturally, giving way to the action which they describe. At the beginning of the dramatized stories the number of parts - that is, of characters appearing in each - has been indicated. To dwell upon the literary form in which these tales are presented, without a word as to the subject matter, would be to do the collection an injustice. It is the distinction of these stories, as of all true litera ture, that their setting is so much a part of themselves that the story, with its wit or wisdom or kindly deed.

Download or read book Maude Adams written by Ernest Haskell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The romantic tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is perhaps William Shakespeare's most famous play. It has been interpreted in countless adaptations for both stage and screen. If you are yet to read the actual text, or are interested in Shakespearian studies, this edition is a good place to start, as it includes illustrations of famous scenes by Ambrielle and presents the play in full. Romeo and Juliet is the classic tale of star-crossed young love. The teenagers hail from rival families in Verona, the Montagues and Capulets, who naturally do not approve of the relationship. They fall in love and are forced to overcome hurdles and traps set by the warring families. The two are determined to be together against all odds and upon reaching the end of the play, it is fully apparent why Romeo and Juliet is classified as one of Shakespeare's great tragedies. The play has several timeless elements, such as: the allure of love at first sight; challenging authority figures; the flight from one's parents and into adulthood; the passage of time; and the role of destiny. The meaning of the play changes according to what stage of life the reader is when they read it. This is especially true in its descriptions of love- Is love merely physical attraction? Is love just a legal contract? Is love mostly about romance? How can you know if love is true? - are just some of the questions reading this play is likely to raise. Shakespeare presents these questions but gives no clear answer, leaving it to the reader to meditate on the meaning of love and life itself. Reading the play in its original form is a great way fully experience these themes as Shakespeare intended. Romeo and Juliet is a play that everyone should read at least once in their lives. This is not to be missed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Embers: With the Failures, the Gargoyle, in His House, Madonna, the Man Masterful; One-Act Plays of Contemporary Life These little plays were written for acting, but arranged for reading. Knowing how small an oppor tunity the professional stage in this country gives for the serious one-act drama so common on the Continent, they are modestly offered to those who see some dignity in the form, and who realize that certain dramatic ideas find their best expression in the concentrated episode. The growing demand, also, among readers for plays has encouraged the author to write these, and their unexpected publication in the magazines has prompted him to bring them together.
