Reflection:
Through this lesson students learned to work collaboratively and creatively in writing their play, rehearsing and production. Students used a higher level of thinking skills during the entire process of this project. All students were highly engaged because they were a part of their own education. The entire project was a huge success.
Review: The final play was a success.
