Ten-Minute Plays: Drama

This collection of plays for middle school is pretty good. I love the organization, the moral lessons that the stories teach and the "talk back" section at the end of each play that provides thought-provoking questions for the student. However, you might want to be a bit cautious especially if you teach in a conservative school district. First, there are ALOT of "Oh Gods" and "damn-its" in the play, not to mention a few instances of "crap," "shut-up," "slut," "sexy," and the "b" word dropped once. Also, you need to be clear with students about the mature situations that take place in some of the plays including girls being pressured to make out with boys (called for in the script on stage), bra stuffing, etc. Again, these plays can be good, with certain modifications...
