Dream Project
What Drives This Project?
As a teacher who LOVES read-alouds, books and films, I'd love to share the passion I have for storytelling with my students! As students grow familiarity with stories that they've been read or have read on their own, they likely have characters or stories that they favor. In this project, students can bring their favorite stories to life by designing costumes, props to be featured in their enactment of the story they chose.
Essential Questions
Exhibition
While exhibition will be likely planned by the needs and wants of the kids completing it, a few ideas include:
Key Learning Goals
Possible Anchor Texts
Movies as Texts
Written Stories:
Connections to Culturally-Responsive Teaching
Students with different cultures and lived experiences could resonate to various stories. For BIPOC students, there are texts that they could use as their story to bring to life. These stories could be tied to their cultural backgrounds, lived experiences or simply remind them of a shared memory with another person in their life. I hope to model this lens through my perspective as a first generation Latina, and bringing light to a story that I find tied to my identity as a woman, and as a Latina. To model this, I would choose to bring to life the text: Paletero Man by Lucky Diaz because of it's significance in my life. I grew up buying snacks from my local paletero and he taught me many life skills, including how to count money.
