4TH AND 5TH GRADERS ACT OUT MEMOIRS- THEY DISCOVER NEW WAYS TO BE DESCRIPTIVE THROUGH GIVING STAGE DIRECTIONS

September 13th, 2011


The 4th and 5th graders have been working on their memoirs for about a solid week now. They are beginning to revise their pieces. They are searching for ways to describe their experiences so that when their audience reads their stories "they feel like there is a movie playing in their mind," as Jacque explained.


Here are some pictures of the 4th graders acting out a memoir of my own, Fuji and the Mouse. It is a true story about how my dog saved me from a mouse trapped under my sink by chasing it out the back door. Enjoy!


Eric as The Mouse


Jerrell as Fuji the Dog


Ayo as Me


Max and Henry as The Cabinet


The Mouse hiding in The Cabinet


Jeremiah as The Chair


I was typing peacefully when I heard the mouse under the cabinet...boom, crack, boom, crack!


Malachi wrote down our story while we did the acting
