Speech Monologue and Scenes Database

On the right hand side of the screen is a search box called Speech (Monologues & Scenes). In the box is a custom search engine that will guide students to suggested monologues, speeches, scenes from lays, film and television, poetry and short story. Just type in the type of dramatic scene, or speech, you would like to access (For Example: a dramatic scene for two females). The results page of the custom search engine will direct you to scripts, and excerpts that are available on the Internet. This resource is made available to help students find appropriate selections for dramatic interpretations, duos, thematic interpretations, storybooks, and humorous interpretations for Ms. Taylor's Speech and Theatre Arts classes and the Granada Hills Charter High School Forensics Team.

A Note: Availability is always based on copyright law. Sometimes authors will not allow their work to appear on the internet or they will require a fee to access the work. If you cannot find a copy of a play, script, poem or story online then ask the library where a physical copy can be found.

Faculty Needs Survey for Library Services

Welcome back!
In an effort to get organized for the next school year, I've created a survey to determine faculty and staff library needs for the 2011-2012 school year.

The survey contains 10 questions. Some multiple choice and some short answer. Please take the survey and choose those available services you would like to have for the new school year. It is not necessary to answer every question, just those that apply directly to your needs.

Your responses to this survey will help us create the most relevant and valuable resources for your students. It will also help insure that the purchases we make for the library are purchases that provide you with the best resources to support your curriculum and programs.

Please help us support you by responding to this survey. The survey link is http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/88SBRMR.

If you have any problems with the online survey or would like to have a physical copy of the survey, please feel free to contact us.
