learn more about the
story.”

my partner!”
“I learned to act with my
body and my face.”

Students were engaged and
became quite good at
creating different tableaus.
Students were able to identify
their favorite part of the
story easily because they
were so familiar with the
story due to their
discussions while creating
the different tableaus.
We had a lot of fun!
