Fourth Grade Fractured Fairy Tales
The past few weeks we have discussed folktales and drama. This week we decided to combine both genres and have our students perform a fractured fairy tale for the class. Students were able to choose from two reader’s theater plays. Students had a day to define and describe the elements of drama, a day to rehearse, and a day to perform.
Boy what fun they had! Some of my quietest students were speaking in their loudest voices and with accents. We all got a great laugh! The best part, of course, was our students were interacting with one another in a cooperative setting and learning about the elements of drama while doing it.
