Creating a Play in Third Grade
Posted by Alyson CahillDid you know that it is possible to create a short play without actually writing anything down? Third graders are currently working on this exciting process in drama class. We recently chose a simple topic – friendship – and brainstormed ways in which we can be good friends. For example, if a classmate is feeling sad, how do we cheer them up? Or if there is a new student in school, how can we make him or her feel welcome? Students acted out these scenarios and had some great input, such as taking a friend out for ice cream. From there, students came up with scenes about specific activities they enjoy doing with friends. They acted these scenes out for the class and many of those scenes will become incorporated into our short play!
