Day 5
Once again the original lesson was modified to accommodate a third grade class. The lesson is the dramatization of a poem ‘Life of a Plant’. Originally it was planned for eight speaking parts, but instead I divided the class into groups of two and or three students. The students were given time to read the poem and practice their interpretation of it. So that all the students could participate in the dramatization, I read or another teacher read the poem as they performed it. I used a digital camera to capture some of the students as they performed. The students appeared to thoroughly enjoy acting out the poem. I only had one student who would not participate in the activity.
