Readers'+Theatre



My Reflection:

I belonged to the Tawny Scrawny Lion group. Our group worked really well together. We each took a part and accomplished our tasks. Our group was able to meet a couple of times in the LRC to get started on posing threads on our wiki. Using our wiki helped our group to stay updated on what was expected and what we needed to do. I also liked it because I was able to refer back to it if I forgot something that we discussed in our groups. Even though we weren't able to practice much before the play, our script turned out really well. I think all of our props and outfits looked great. I was the zebra and I enjoyed it very much. I think everyone's costumes looked good. I especially liked when the toddlers were able to join us on stage and act out our play. Each little one was eager to run across the stage and pretend to be a different animal. I think we were able to bring literature to life because our costumes and props were very accurate to the story. Instead of the children just listening to words, they were able to create images in their mind of what the story looked like. Now, when they hear The Tawny Scrawny Lion again, they will be able to put a picture to the words. I noticed that while many of the children were willing to put a costume on and run across stage, they were shy about doing the speaking parts. But with the help of our group, they felt better about being on stage in front of everyone. All in all, I believe that the readers' theatre was a success.
