Fractured Fairy Tales

 

In this reader's theater workshop, our 3rd graders explore the art of story-telling and performance by juxtaposing traditional fairy tales and humorous versions with unexpected twists. At the end of the residency, parents are invited to watch their child's class perform a reading of both the traditional and "fractured" versions, full of both dramatic and comic takes, which is sure to delight!
