Teatro de Cuentos de Hadas - This collection of short plays leads the Spanish class down the familiar path of beloved fairy tales with sudden detours into comedy, zaniness and contemporary sensibilities. For students of all ages - intermediate to advanced levels of Spanish. There are six beloved fairy tales, altered and rejuvenated, in play/script format. Humorous original illustrations depict the contemporary slant of the story. The book includes program, production and staging suggestions for the teacher. There are also notes about the origins and history of each tale.
Finally, there is an activity section to develop language skills and confidence in speaking.
