Ancient myth: Page to stage

In this Theater Making/Literacy Unit, early elementary students will use their creativity and imaginations to create a play from an ancient Mexican Myth. This unit is designed for one fifty-minute session each week for eight weeks, and can easily be condensed or expanded based on scheduling needs. Students will take a story from the page to the stage by creating a script from improvised dialogue, blocking from exploration of movement, and mood/setting from choice of movement.

This Theater unit is written for the 2nd Grade and is aligned with the 2nd Grade Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in Theater Benchmarks. This unit was written by Cynthia Blackwell.
