Program / Event Details

Understanding story structure is a key element of literacy, and some of the best ways to build that understanding are acting out stories and creating stories of our own! In this theme-based residency, children explore an age-appropriate book through drama–unpacking the beginning, middle, and end of the story–act out the story in their own words, and then create a new story following the same beginning, middle and end structure. This fun residency builds an understanding of story structure while also giving students an opportunity to demonstrate comprehension and engage in a creative process as actors and authors.
