Gingerbread Retell

The students were so enthusiastic about reading The Gingerbread Man last week, we continued investigating various versions this week.  Another activity the students enjoyed was retelling the story.  Once again, we used a story telling kit, but this time the students decided to work in groups.  Each group met together and planned their retell.  Once all the planning and practicing was done, each group presented their retell to the class.


It was great to see the collaboration and team work displayed.  We enjoyed hearing all the different retells of the The Gingerbread Man.  Some of the students are really beginning to task risks during our drama and oral language activities.  They are beginning to use much more expression, and many even changed the sound of their voice to speak in role as their chosen character.  It was exciting to watch!
