Material Detail

This lesson introduces students to an exciting, creative, and engaging way to understand story structure and story features by allowing the students to write and act out a play. Students make selections from a provided list featuring various settings, characters, and problems and build their creative plays using a ready-made story feature template. Working cooperatively, the students craft a short, creative play using characters, setting, problem, four major events, and a conclusion. Students use their mind, bodies, and voices to create a play from the opening scenes to the closing scenes. Students present their plays to their fellow classmates while being supported, instructed, and encouraged by the teacher. A rubric is provided to help teachers effectively assess the students.
