It features materials to aid instructors at both the high school and college levels in navigating the play with their students. The Resource Book provides background on historically significant events, leveled comprehension questions, extended response writing prompts, cross-curricular activities, and independent collaborative projects. Essays on staging the play, working with oral history and verbatim theater in the classroom, and the significance of the events of May 4th, 1970, are included. The guide is also an excellent companion to the DVD and the online Kent State Shootings Oral History Project database.What has been a defining historical moment dividing generations for decades has now been told and reshaped through the collective effort of Kent State University Press and Kent Historical Society.
