My Side of the Story: Monologues for Teens - Paperback

by Kristin Kay Rasmussen (Author)

The kid who always has to organize the teacher's classroom. The jock who is hiding a concussion.The friend who tells on him to the coach. A bully and her victim...are we really sure which is which? You will meet these characters and more in this collection of authentic monologues inspired by my years in the classroom.

There are always at least two sides to any story. This monologue collection examines significant moments from the point of view of two different characters. Some are funny; some are serious. The monologues can be performed individually or in pairs as part of a drama class exercise.

If you're teacher, you'll be glad to find rubrics and extension activities as a bonus in this book. If you are a student looking for a great audition piece, you'll find that too. For even more content, sign up for my newsletter at www.krisrasmussen.net.
