Plays and Drama for Young Learners - Workshop
We did a little demonstration workshop at the Teaching School with a class of Year 3 students.
The materials are below. (1)
Thinking about it afterwards, although the children enjoyed themselves, it seemed that it was a little too complex for the children. So a simplified version of the play, and the teaching module were created, and are included below. (2)
Also included below is a Little Book with a very simple version of the stories and pictures. Each child folded their own little book and took it home to read.
