BFG's Readers Theatre Learning Story

Learners: Amin, Arnav, Taanvi, Jasmine, Nisita          Learning Coach: Bex Remington          Date: 14 May 2014

Learning Area: iDevelop - Reading: Readers Theatre

Learning Observed

The BFGs WALHT for the week was learning how to read with clarity and expression.  The group chose to do the reader’s theatre story “The Ant and the Grasshopper”.  They read the script separately and then together they chose their roles.  The group practice by themselves for two sessions and then performed in front of a learning coach to be given feedback.  The feedback they were given was to ensure their volume was loud enough for each member of the group to hear so they knew when it was their turn to read.  Once the group has practiced again they read in front of a camera.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

These learners were working on their capability to read out loud with expression.  They also had to ensure they were working collaboratively so all of the members of the group could hear when it was their turn to read.  The group showed their ability to manage self as they had to read along and not be distracted so they knew when it was their turn to read.

Next Learning Steps
