Character Interviews in Drama

The following post is from Ms Erickson’s Drama Blog:

In Drama, Grade 2 completed a project on storybook characters in support of their current Unit of Inquiry:

Central Idea
Stories can be constructed, retold and interpreted in different ways.

Lines of Inquiry
•How traditional tales change
•Roles that characters play
•Traditional tales told from various points of view

The students focused on tales from different character’s point of view. The students retold favorite tales from various points of view. For the final project, the students chose a character, wrote the character’s introduction and three questions to be asked. They became the character in an interview. The work the students did was impressive. They were able to become the character. Please view the interviews below.
