Grade 5 Theater Corps
Posted by Sarah RaggioOne of our final activities centered around our last book choice, My Brother Sam Is Dead, was a “Write and Perform Task” demonstrating one of the many conflicts that arose within the text. The students were asked to discuss the conflict, choose their characters, write a script to explain the conflict and perform it the following day. In true 5th Grade style, they independently kicked it up a notch and decided to make props. Equipped with only their imaginations, tape, a stapler, some paper and about 10 minutes, they quickly had props to use and share. They constructed campfires, hats, belts, books, muskets and bayonets and because only one group was performing at a time, they shared their creations with the other groups. With a few makeshift costumes from various closets in my house, the performances were a big hit! Way to be creative Grade 5!
