Today we used Tableau's... Just another one of Kagan's amazing strategies! We are tying together writing and reading with a persuasive unit. So, we are reading Jack and the Beanstalk, and their argument is going to be "Should Jack have stolen the golden goose?" and they will debate about this question. Anywho, with that being said, they read the story today, and made a storyboard about the characters, setting, and plot. Then to really get them to sink in what was happening in the story, we used tableau! This can be used for anything.!! Students pick an important event and/or concept and come together to create a "frozen in time" still picture of what it is representing. They start by saying "curtains down" and the audience closes their eyes while they form the scene/concept. When they are ready, they say "curtains up" and the students open their eyes to see the concept or scene. In this case, we had to guess what picture from Jack and the Beanstalk they were representing. They LOVED it! I have to say, they did an awesome job and I was impressed! Curtains UP! :)
