Created to supplement May 4th Voices - a play based on the 1970 tragedy - this explains how real teachers in real classrooms have adapted the play to use in various pedagogical situations and levels of instruction. It offers lesson plans and background material for students and teachers, describing the national mood in 1970, the events in Southeast Asia that heightened tensions on US campuses, and the culture of antiwar dissent both nationally and within the community of Kent, Ohio, USA.
