Drama Curriculum for Middle School provides an inclusive Drama curriculum for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade. Activities flow sequentially from one year to the next.

"After teaching for so many years, I realize many of my ideas have coalesced from hundreds of sources. I have tediously searched the origin and given credit, to the best of my knowledge, for any material I did not create. A thank you is given to the publishers, authors, and teachers who so unselfishly contributed their work, time and expertise, in helping me develop this book."
