Students in Miss Saleh and Miss Rzepka’s 5th grade class are currently exploring a new genre in ELA plays! As they work through this form of literature, students are learning the important parts of a play, including the cast of characters, dialogue, stage directions and scenes.
Reading a play aloud has been an important part of the learning process. By taking on different roles and performing the dialogue, students are able to better understand the characters’ emotions, tone, and interactions. This interactive approach helps bring the story to life while strengthening students’ fluency, expression and comprehension.
Through this engaging genre study, students are discovering that reading can be both collaborative and fun while deepening their understanding of how stories can be told in different ways.
