Carol Lucha-Burns, a retired University of New Hampshire Professor who lived with ADHD her entire life, captures the reader's interest in a new method of teaching and learning book. In this text, she explains and gives the "how-to learner" the methods she utilized during more than twenty years of teaching Story Theatre and Involvement As a college professor, she not only created courses in different teaching techniques but also guided her students, both graduates and undergraduates, to develop confidence in writing their own plays and musicals, many in the Story Theatre and Involvement styles.This book is an expansion of her first teaching book, Learn Thru Play: Creative Activities That Build Attention, Curiosity, and Collaboration. That handbook of ideas, games, puppet-making, and educational, humorous plays, which include directions for implementation, help promote classrooms where students actively participate in their learning process. It helps them become more focused as they unleash their creativity and become involved and attentive members of the collaborative classroom.This second book continues to promote a classroom where students actively engage in their learning process. Participants become more focused as they unleash their creativity, becoming involved and attentive members of the class.Lucha-Burns developed this material from her expertise in creating university classes in Education Through Dramatization, Storytelling, Story Theatre, Involvement Dramatics, and Methods of Education Through Dramatization.

All were well-attended, popular classes that evolved into a variety of in-house and state-wide performances.Learn Thru Play 2: The Plays was written as a guide to show teachers how to write and utilize the art of Story Theatre and Involvement as a unique teaching tool. The students are encouraged to write and produce their own small cast plays as learning projects for their classmates and younger students. It is a way to make education exciting. Some teachers want to encourage students to actively participate in their learning and this book shows you how to be more than a "teach to the test" facilitator. History, Literature, and Social Studies can all be brought to life by the students themselves.
