“These scripts will give students the opportunity to confidently practise language in a safe and structured setting where they can enjoy playing roles and bringing the story to life. … they’ll be having so much fun that they won’t even realise that they are learning!”
—David Farmer, NILE training consultant, theatre director, and author, Learning Through Drama and 101 Drama Games and Activities
Colorado Ghost Story is about a foreign exchange student who thinks his host family is just being weird when they tell him not to go out at night. After all, they’re vegetarians who run a goat farm, nothing like the American cowboys of Colorado Trevor dreamed of. But one night, he sneaks out and finds out there’s a real danger out there.

Description

But Trevor and his friend soon find out there’s a reason his host family is so protective.
Colorado Ghost Story is an engaging and suspenseful drama will get students talking about the difference between dreams and reality, as well as the realities of life away from the big city. They’ll be practicing venting, as well as responding to venting.
