3 Introduction for Teachers Welcome to Main Street s Theater for Youth! We hope these supplemental materials will help you integrate your field trip into your classroom curriculum. We ve included a number of activities and resources to help broaden your students experience. Please make sure that each teacher that will be attending the play has a copy of these materials as they prepare to see the show. Recent studies prove that integrating the arts into education enhances a student s development and performance. Students learning through the arts are more able to think at a higher level, collaborate with their peers, and score higher on standardized tests. Before you come to the theater, please take some time to talk with your students about what to expect. Going to a live play is an experience unlike any other, and many students are more familiar with going to the movies or sporting events. Please help them prepare for what they ll see and how they should act. Here are some things to think about: How is a play different from a movie or a television show? How is a play different from real life? Can the actors see and hear the audience? Which of the following is appropriate behavior for a theater audience? Clapping, talking, eating, laughing, running, leaving during the performance. Ask students who have seen a play before to talk about what it s like to be in the audience. We invite you to have students write letters to the cast of Holes with their thoughts and comments on the production. All correspondence should be sent to: SCHOOL BOOKINGS Main Street Theater 3400 Main St. Suite 283 Houston, Texas
4 Preparing Your Students How Should I Prepare My Students for a Trip to the Theater? Discuss the page on theater etiquette with your students. Remind them that it can get very dark in the theater before the play and in between scenes. Make sure your students use the restroom before they leave school or at the theater before the performance. If you get up during the performance, you may miss your favorite part! Talk about what kind of show they are coming to see. Holes is a live theatrical performance. Talk to your students about the difference between a movie and a play. The actors are not on a screen and can hear everything the audience is doing or saying. Talk to your students about imagination. People called actors perform in the play. They pretend to be the people in the story. 12 grown-up actors perform in Holes. Watch and see how they use their voices and bodies to become the characters. After the performance, the actors will remain on stage and answer questions that the students may have. Discuss with your students what a question is. While the actors love to hear what a good time the students had or what part they like the best, they LOVE to answer questions about the show, the book, or being an actor. Don t forget to raise your hand! 3
5 Putting Preparing On Your A Play Students What Does It Take to Put On a Play? It takes many years of preparation before you see a show at our theater. Many, many people work to put all the parts of a play together. The play you re seeing today comes from the book Holes, written and adapted by author and playwright Louis Sachar. About a year before MST s production, the producer contacted the licensing agency about the rights to perform the play. Once the agency agreed, the production team was assembled. The production team is the group of people directly responsible for a how a play looks and sounds. The director is the person who makes the decisions about who is in the play, how the play looks, and what themes are emphasized to the audience. S/he works with the designers to establish the concept (or mood & themes) of the play. The director also hires the actors to play the parts in the show. Once rehearsals begin the director conveys the concept to the actors by giving them directions on their character development and by blocking their movements. The set designer creates the world that is seen when you enter the theater. S/he decides whether there will be real furniture or pretend furniture (such as cubes or chairs). The set designer decides where all of the different locations will be on the stage. The designer drafts diagrams so the carpenters can build the set. S/ he also comes back once the set is built to paint everything. The costume designer is the person who chooses what clothes the actors will wear to represent the concept of the play. The designer will sometimes shop for clothing or may build some costumes from scratch. S/he works closely with the actors to make sure that all of the clothing fits and feels comfortable. S/he also works with the set designer to make sure that the actors clothing will not clash with the colors on the set. The props designer is the person who provides all of the handheld items used by the actors during the play. This person either buys or builds everything that the actors might need to convey the story. The sound designer creates or selects all of the sound effects and music for the play. The sound designer creates the noises that are heard when someone rings a doorbell, a dog barks offstage, or a telephone rings. The sound designer can also create music pieces to aid in setting the theme or the mood of the play. The lighting designer decides how stage lighting will help tell the story. How can the color of lights complement the costumes and sets? Does the play require a scene at night? S/he will also decide when the lights should go out to cover up a scene change or when they should stay on. The actors are the people who perform the play. They are real people who are pretending to be the different characters in the story. Actors are trained to play old people, young people and sometimes even animals. It s their job to tell the story to the audience. The audience is part of the play too! Without someone to hear the story, there would be no reason to tell it. The actors want to get the audience to care about the characters, to laugh and cry, and applaud when the play is over. 4
6 About Holes About the Show Walking home from school on a day that Stanley thinks cannot possibly get worse, a $5000 pair of shoes falls from the sky and he is mistaken for a thief. Stanley s father tries to explain the curse placed on their family years ago, but nobody seems to believe him. With the choice of jail or Camp Green Lake, Stanley heads off to camp where his days are filled with digging holes. Despite the name, there is no lake at Camp Green Lake. The days are hot and the kids have to stay outside digging until their hole is exactly five feet deep and five feet wide. Soon Stanley begins to realize that there is more to the holes than just building character. The Warden has the boys digging holes to find a hidden treasure that her family has been trying to find for decades. About the Author/Playwright Louis Sachar wrote his first children s book Sideways Stories from Wayside School in 1976 after graduating from the University of California at Berkeley where he majored in Economics. Sideways Stories from Wayside School was published during Sachar s first week in law school. He went on to graduate and pass the bar exam. He continued writing children s books while doing part-time legal work. In 1989 his books finally began selling well enough for him to devote all of his time to writing. Sachar is now an award-winning author of twenty-five books for kids and young adults. His book, Holes, won both the National Book Award and the Newbery Medal. 5

11 Poetry Activity Figurative language is used quite a few times in Holes to describe people, scenery, and situations. Some examples include: He s a mole. I think he eats dirt. This is an example of a metaphor, which is a comparison between two things without using like or as. Zero is not actually a mole, but they compare him to a mole because, like a mole, he is very good at digging holes. Look around, the peach trees are in bloom, the lake shimmers like an emerald. This is an example of a simile, which is when like or as is used to compare two things. They are comparing the lake to an emerald by saying it shimmers like an emerald. Her head is as empty as a flower pot This is another example of a simile. They are saying she is not smart by saying her head is as empty as a flower pot. In the lines below, write a poem about anything you want. Use at least 5 examples of figurative language in your poem

18 Jim Crow Laws In the play, the people of Green Lake are uncomfortable with the relationship between Miss Katherine and Sam. The sheriff tells Miss Katherine that it is against the law for a black man to kiss a white woman. Unfortunately, these attitudes were not uncommon in American history. In the Southern states, Jim Crow laws were passed that allowed for legal segregation. These laws created separate areas for black people and white people. How did the Jim Crow Laws discriminate against black people in the United States? Housing: Voting: Leisure: Travel: School: 17 17

20 Biome Activity Stanley and Zero leave the camp and find themselves in the middle of the desert with other animals and plants that live in the area. The desert is an example of a type of biome. Biomes are regions of the world that share similar climate (weather), animals, and plants. There are land biomes, which are called terrestrial biomes, and water-based biomes, which are called aquatic biomes. The 5 major biomes are aquatic, desert, forest, grassland, and tundra. The types of plants that can grow in each area is dependent on the type of climate that they have. The types of animals that live in each are dependent on the type of plants and animals that are available for food. Using books or websites, select one of the main biomes and fill out the sheet below. Name of biome: Location in the world: Climate (average temperature, precipitation, etc.) Other environmental factors (soil, salinity, tides, etc.) Plants: Adaptations to environment: Animals: Adaptations to environment: 19 19
21 Taxonomy Activity In the play, the yellow-spotted lizard is known to have a deadly bite. While the yellow-spotted lizard does not exist, there are many lizards in real life that are venomous or poisonous. Choose a specific lizard species and fill out the worksheet below using a book or online resource. List 5 things that make your animal different from other animals such as birds or fish. What types of places can you find your reptile? Scientists use taxonomy classification to group similar types of animals. This allows us to better understand them and to find similarities and differences between different organisms. Using the internet or a book, find out the different classification groups that your animal belongs to. Kingdom: Phylum: Class: Order: Family: Genus: Species: 20 20
