Hot Ice: Theatre for Classical and Christian Schools: Student's Edition, (Paperback)

Student's Edition. Hot Ice introduces drama to students involved in classical and/or Christian education (grades 7 to 12). Using primary sources, Hot Ice explains the Greek and Roman origins of the theatre, introduces the principles of Aristotle and Horace, and integrates literature and history across the curriculum. Additionally, Hot Ice examines the sometimes hostile relationship between the stage and the church, and explores the moral and ethical responsibilities of the theatre community from the earliest times.

Discussion questions, activities, and learning games enliven the class, developing students' critical thinking skills and acting abilities. Hot Ice also incorporates elements of classical education, such as logic, the progymnasmata, and Greek and Latin.
