A Book-It All Over residency is a long-term, customized program where students learn to bring literature to the stage. Each program is designed with the teacher to address specific fiction or non-fiction texts, content, academic standards, and students’ needs. All residencies feature professionally trained Book-It teaching artists and culminate in final performances of the text. Students explore literary elements such as character, setting, plot, theme, and point of view to gain a deeper understanding of a book and collaborate with peers to make it come alive on stage. Residencies create collaborative class environments, providing students with a toolbox of necessary skills for the future: cooperation, collaboration, and problem solving. Through the synthesis of literature and theatre, the program challenges and inspires students to analyze and interpret text in a highly personal, fun, and physical way!
