PAGE TO STAGE

Linking literacy with live theater

Using the stories that inspire our popular stage productions (such as Dragons Love Tacos and The Very Hungry Caterpillar) or books & themes that are personal to your classroom, students learn to adapt stories for the stage as they read a book and then dramatize several key scenes that tell the story. Those scenes will then be staged into a showcase for a final class sharing. In the process, students demonstrate reading comprehension, and work collaboratively, while meeting standards in literature and writing—and having fun! Through theatre and improv games, this workshop series also helps students learn and practice collaboration, and Social/Emotional Learning skills in alignment with CASEL competencies.
