Dramatizing The Three Little Pigs

Each day this week, we read one version of The Three Little Pigs and practice looking at the story with different reading strategies. We first use "visualization" and practice making movies and pictures of the story in our mind. The next day, we read the same story and think about how the characters are feeling. These different strategies help us when we are dramatizing the story in centers. Tomorrow, we will be making inferences about what the characters are thinking. Here is day one of dramatizing in some   centers- there was lots of laughter! The team captain passes out role cards and each child has a specific role. Groups dramatize the story one time and then switch roles for round two. This is a great way to practice coping with getting a role card that might not be your favorite role. So tar so good on day one!
