The Canterville Ghost Radio Play

"We had a ton of fun with this resource. Our students especially enjoyed learning about sound effects and how to make them. The students loved the recording process, though not the rehearsal process so much. As a teacher, I appreciated all they learned, not only about radio drama and radio history, but also about acting, using only their voice to communicate, and simply working together in general. As a bonus, our local radio station allowed us to come and tour the studio and explain how the station works. Overall, this is an amazing resource that I highly recommend. I would also highly recommend reading the packet all the way through (just like we tell our students), as there were many things I missed the first time through because I thought I knew what I was getting into (afterall, how hard can this be!?). I learned a ton myself about radio theater and how to teach it. Great experience. Great product."
