Hi David....thank you for posting this video...I tried this with my year 6 students and it worked really well.....the children were engaged, they participated and enjoyed it...it was engaging and the very idea to explore poetry through drama was excellent idea..thanks once again and look forward to seeing more of these on the teaching channel....

This is a wonderful lesson, or really multiple lessons. I think maybe I am not alone in wishing that some supporting materials had been provided. It would be so helpful to have an explanation of the first theater game, the text of the poem, the evaluation sheet, and the teacher's guidelines for tableaux. The poem seems to come from a story, but without knowing the name of the story, I can't search for it.

I think the kids and the teacher did a good job I liked having the students on stage to really take on the characters they chose to be.
