Description
This professionally-recorded bilingual play is available to be streamed online. The play is sectioned into thirds and teachers may watch over multiple classes if needed. It is also accompanied by a three-part study guide (Pre-Show, Midpoint, and Post-Show). The play recorded twice. Once primarily in Spanish as well as once primarily in English. Both are available for purchase. You may purchase both versions as a package to compare and measure vocabulary, and concept retention for new Spanish or new English speakers. This play tells the story of Mexican poetess Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, who lived in Mexico during the 1600’s when women were discouraged from reading and writing. Through perseverance, Sor Juana overcame many obstacles to become the most celebrated poet in Mexico’s history. Highly imaginative, using movement, puppets and audience interaction, Juana Inés: The Child Who Loved To Read is a great example to children of all ages. Students will relate theatre to history, society, and culture, while also developing concepts of self, human relationships, and the environment, using elements of drama and conventions of theatre. Digital copy of study guide will be provided upon purchase.

Students Will
  • learn the importance of perseverance
  • view puppets, interact with the actress
  • Literacy Connection: A Library for Juana: The World of Sor Juana Ines by Pat Mora ISBN 0-375-90643-6.
