Drama - Pathfinders/Navigators 1-12-2016

Last week we covered a brief history of drama and theater, tracing its roots to pagan religious practices of Egypt, Greece, and Rome.  After some review and an exciting activity with tongue twisters, the children brainstormed the elements of a good story.  After our list was complete, I read Blueberries for Sal written by Robert McCloskey.  Some of them had never heard this story and although they made a bit of fun at it, most enjoyed it quite nicely!  We identified the elements  in the story and then set off to write our own story.  It is challenging to write and act out a story in 15 minutes, however, I am proud of the effort put forth!  These kids are so great!
