Teamwork

Hello everyone,

This week there has been a large emphasis on teamwork. Students have been working to create their interpretations of the Three Little Pigs, and have so far produced some wonderful ideas. Students were asked to work together to create one sequencing chart for their group and one set of backgrounds for their play. This required students to take turns with a recorder of ideas and for the remainder of the group to lead an equal discussion in which all members ideas were heard and applied to the final product.

This posed a very challenging task for students. They realized they had to work together to represent their ideas or nothing would get done! Students finished their sequencing charts yesterday and collaborated on set backgrounds today.

We had a class discussion that outlined what an actor is, why they are important and how they could practice this skill. Students were asked to imagine themselves as the wolf or pig they were portraying and we then conducted character interviews. Students were asked to share a few ideas or answer questions as if they were the little pig or big bad wolf. We look forward to sharing all of this work with you via our blog soon!
