Some of our favorite plays and movies are based on fairy tales written a long time ago. If the pros can write a play from something that already exists, so can we!
If you begin with a fairy tale, you or your student can start writing a play today. This drama curriculum offers step-by-step instructions, examples from an actual fairy tale and playscript, and additional resources to get you started!
5th - 8th grade
(11 lessons)
(an excerpt from pg. 1)
This curriculum is written to the teacher so you can walk alongside your student as they go through the process of writing a playscript. The first few lessons are specially designed to be interactive, but older students can break off on their own if desired after that. Keeping in mind that they will still need someone to look at their work and encourage them along the way. Yes, you as the teacher can write your own script just like me!
You and your student have permission to use the portions of the scripts given as examples in this edition for your own plays. Please keep in mind that this curriculum is protected under copyright and should not be shared with others. Please send someone interested in this drama curriculum to homeschooldrama.com so they can purchase and download their own copy. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy watching your students be inspired to create.
