CURRICULUM GUIDE FOR S.C. TEACHER CADET COURSE | EXPERIENCING EDUCATION, TENTH EDITION
Creating a Dramatic Skit
2. Using overhead transparencies and overhead markers, students should trace each
character onto a transparency sheet. Using tape, attach a sheet of poster board
to the wall. Place the transparency sheet, with the traced figure, onto the
overhead. You will need to adjust the overhead, moving it back to enlarge the
character so that it fits onto the poster board. Once the poster board and
overhead are positioned, lightly trace the character onto the poster board.
3. Once the character is traced, have students color characters, using colors to
authenticate the characters in the book. Students may use large markers for
coloring the characters.
4. After students have completed coloring the characters, have the characters
laminated. Then, attach yardsticks (that have been painted black) to the back
of the characters. Attach the yardsticks with wide shipping tape.
5. If completing Where the Wild Things Are, one student can play the role of Max,
and students can draw the different monsters on poster board. Max can be
dressed in a white jogging suit, adding a tail and ears. Props, such as a boat,
oar, plate of food, etc., can be added. “Wild Thing” can be played while
monsters and Max dance around the children. Remind students not to scare the
young children.
6. If completing Rainbow Fish, scales can be attached with Velcro® so that the
scales can be removed and given to the other fish. Soft ocean/surf sounds can
be played during the performance.
