The Addams Family Study Guide (PDF)

using The Field guide
Camp Broadway is pleased to bring you this edition of
StageNOTES written for The Addams Family.
By using StageNOTES, you will understand how
The Addams Family raises questions about current social
conditions (Social Studies), expands our visual and verbal
vocabulary (Language Arts), encourages creative thinking
and expression (The Arts), illuminates the human condition
(Behavioral Studies), and aids in our own self-exploration
(Life Skills).
The Camp Broadway creative team, consisting of theater educators, scholars, researchers,
and theater professionals, has developed a series of lesson plans that are inspired by
and themed around the musical The Addams Family. To assist you in preparing your
presentation of each lesson, we have included a discussion topic; a writing assignment;
and an exploration activity that encourages students to research and investigate on
their own.
The curriculum categories offered in The Addams Family study guide have been informed
by the basic standards of education detailed in Content Knowledge: A Compendium of
Standards and Benchmarks for K-12 Education, 2nd Edition, written by John S. Kendall and
Robert J. Marzano (1997). This definitive compilation was published by Mid-Continent
Regional Education Laboratory, Inc. (McREL) and the Association for Supervision and
Curricular Development (ASDC) after a systematic collection, review, and analysis of
noteworthy national and state curricular documents in all subjects.
The study guide for The Addams Family is for you, the educator, in response to your need
for standards-compliant curriculum. We hope this study guide will help you incorporate
The Addams Family into your classroom activities.
