Goodspeed’s Teacher's Instructional Guide can be found on our website: www.goodspeed.org/guides The Teacher's Instructional Guide for Anything Goes was prepared by: Joshua S. Ritter, M.F.A, Education Manager & Library Director Kathryn Micari, Education & Library Assistant Katherine Desjardins, Creative Content Manager TIG updated 03.30.16 3 HOW TO USE THE GUIDES THE TEACHER’S INSTRUCTIONAL GUIDE (TIG) is intended for use by teachers who will bring their school groups to attend performances at Goodspeed Musicals. The TIG provides background information, teaching ideas, and prompts to facilitate students’ knowledge and appreciation of the show’s themes and characters. The TIG activities are influenced by state and national standards associated with the arts, language arts, social studies, mathematics and science. THE STUDENT GUIDE TO THE THEATRE serves as a companion to the Teacher’s Instructional Guide (TIG). It includes a plot and character summary, accessible historical and thematic background information to support the lessons in the TIG, and a behind-the-scenes look at the production. Each lesson in the TIG corresponds to a specific section in the Student Guide. Reading the Student Guide before attending a Goodspeed production will increase the likelihood that students will take active, critical roles as audience members, which will then lead to valuable classroom discussions. The chart below maps the connection between the TIG’s lessons and supporting material with the corresponding pages in the Student Guide.
