Ms. Isaac's Theatre classes were assigned to go to a local nursing home and interview residents about their lives. The residents were asked to tell the students about their favorite memory or event that happened to them during their lives. Ms. Isaac's students will then turn their stories into scripts and act them out for the residents later this semester.
