About the Book

This unique book of 100 monologues invites elementary school students to explore a wide range of emotions, developing empathy as well as acting skills. Divided into three sections, each part utilises a different technique to help children learn more about feelings. Part I contains 20 monologues that each have two contrasting scenarios which alter the feel of the selection (eg: You just learned your family is moving out of state. Are you excited or sad?). Part II has 30 pairs of monologues that present the same situation from different points of view (eg: You are insulted that you and your younger sister have the same bedtime. Your sister is glad that the two of you are treated equally). Part III includes 20 monologues that provide situations without identifying emotions in order to encourage discussion (eg: Your mum finally made it to one of your baseball games, but you hit a foul ball through her windscreen). All the monologues in this exciting collection are between one and two minutes long, and a comprehensive list of emotions in the appendix will help kids better clarify their own feelings and empathise with others. Most of the selections are gender neutral, with the rest divided evenly between boys and girls. Elementary-aged students will enjoy the many pieces from their own perspective and will be challenged by others from an older or younger point of view. Not just for the young actor, this book can help any child build stronger relationships with their peers, parents, siblings, and teachers.

About the Author :
For many years, Rebecca Wright wrote and directed drama for middle school and high school students for her church. She co-founded a Christian acting group called One Voice. It was a dream of hers to combine writing, acting, and helping youth. Rebecca currently works in a totally "non-dramatic" profession as a Technical Writer. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications/Marketing from the University of Kentucky. Whether you are an actor, writer, athlete, or scholar, Rebecca suggests this anonymous quote as a daily mantra: "You aren't finished when you lose; you are finished when you quit."

Review :
"This book provides great learning opportunities for young actors who wish to practice conveying emotions. It is also an ideal tool to increase the affective vocabulary for other elementary students to better share their feelings. The monologues and comprehensive lists of feelings invite a variety of activities to help young people identify and express a wide range of emotions. The upper elementary reading level encourages students to express different emotions, while younger elementary children can develop their listening skills to identify the feelings being conveyed. I especially appreciate the book's exploration of alternative perspectives to practice and develop empathy, which is a key goal of Affective Education." -Dr. Warren Knepper, School Psychologist and teacher of Affective Education
