Hansel and Gretel Craft Activity: Paper Bag Puppets
Slide Title
Alternative Ending: Have students
write an alternate ending to the story
and explain the critical difference
between their endings and the
author’s.
Perform the Story: For stories that rely almost entirely on the
dialogue and actions of the characters to convey meaning, rather
than exposition, you might have your students perform the
literature. You might break up the class into groups of four and
assign a director, an assistant director, and lead actors. Each group
performs a section of the story. They spend some time rehearsing,
and the director and assistant director help with directing the
actors, which is where the real learning takes place, as they puzzle it
out.
Repeated Readings: Have students read a story
four times at home and chart their understanding
and enjoyment of the text with each reading.
Then, during class time, ask them meet in four
small groups and give short presentations about
their experiences with each reading and then to
summarize their discussions to the larger group.
Round Table Reading: For short stories, you might have
students read the story aloud and ask them to comment on the
variations. They have never failed to make excellent observations,
which, of course, gives me an opportunity to applaud their ability
to read and encourage them that they can do this with everything
they read. This is also a nice way of getting students to discuss
what they like in a good story—not just plot, but how the story is
told. (Adapted from LeDon Sweeney)
Use “ character charades game”: Just as we
encourage students to use attention/ retention-
getting devices, we may ask them to do the character
charades game where a selected student imitates the
action of one of the characters then every group
should guess the name of the character based on the
action showed.
4 Pic 1 Word: This game says
everything. Teacher shows the
pictures (4 pictures ) then guess the
word/ words it portrays.
Reader’s Theatre: You can have students create
their own Reader’s Theatre versions of a short
story and perform them for their classmates.
You could have groups choose from 4-5 pre-
selected stories, read them, and write their
versions.
