GAMS Hosts Families for Character Matters Play


On ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ, April 13th, GAMS second graders presented their Character Matters show. The play was a culmination of their ARC unit 3 Animal Stories ELA unit.  During this Unit, the second graders learned about the elements that develop a good story, characters, setting, and plot. The students learned that a good plot features a problem for the main character and a solution to the problem. They spent a lot of time creating stories featuring animal characters with problems to solve. 

 

Families were invited to attend the showcase in which the scholars displayed their "Animal Stories" Unit work as well as their finished product on Book Creator. Then, the students presented their play, "Character Matters." The play is based on classic fairy tales and tells a story of how the fairy tale characters should act in certain situations.  The songs had tools that helped the characters solve their problems, like counting to ten, taking a breath, and walking away.
