The great thing about spreadsheets is that they can track and manage almost any kind of data. If the lesson was to study direction ques from a script, students could keep track of each characters entrance and exit and what props they have with them. It would allow them to link information they researched and then present it in an easy to view and read form created in Excel.
I used excel a lot a student in college, it was a great tool and helped me with math as well as my more creative classes. I also used this a lot as a stage manager to create practical documents for production. I could use this tool in any class where we were going to study character movement by scene, the cells could be used to fit any text or type of data needed to be entered. The text uses them more to reinforce math skills, though students don't have to know the math skill but it is a great help when working with formals. This is a great tool for teachers and students of all levels and proficiency.
