Drama

Last week we jumped into learning about drama.  The kids were super excited about this!  I introduced the basics using this anchor chart:


As always, the kids took notes to add to their reader's notebooks.  Here's the page we used:
 
 

The next day, we took some time to review our notes with a partner.  Then, we completed this cut and paste page for a review.
 
 
 
 
The best part of the week was actually performing a play!  We found some great plays on Pinterest.  We decided to perform How I Became a Pirate.  The kids practiced for several days and also made their own props.  This was a big hit! 

You can find some free plays to download here:
 
 
 
 
I wanted to make sure everyone took this project seriously and got involved, so I made a rubric for them so they would understand the expectations.
 
 
 
It was a fun week!
