Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 4-6. The Now I Get It! books are collections of skits based on grade-specific subject matter. Teachers are meant to assign the skits as a way of explaining material and getting the students actively involved in learning. Each skit includes before-and-after exercises, discussion questions, and staging suggestions when needed. Subjects covered include Grammar, Writing, Vocabulary, Math, Geometry, Sciences, and Social Studies. Many of the skits are entertaining and could probably help students understand subject matter, although they may work better if they're performed for younger students instead of by them. But whether or not the plays are used exactly as written, they make a good jumping-off point for teachers looking for new ideas. Marta Segal
