Rafe Esquith: Five Tips to Help Children Develop Their Natural Gifts
#2106. Remake of Our TownLiterature, level: allPosted Mon Jan 15 08:44:48 PST 2001 by Holly Dunlea (pdunlea@cyberportal.net). Pembroke Academy, Pembroke, NH Materials Required: creative, open minds Activity Time: 1 month, work on this as time permits Concepts Taught: understanding Wilder's style, effective playwriting and stage direction
My students read Our Town and discussed Wilder's style, society at that time, and compared it to other literary works we had studied. I gave my students a challenge: "Write you own Our Town play as a class. Create a setting with which you are all familiar, characters, problems and solutions. Write a script complete with staging, lighting, and sound directions. Make invitations, practice, and perform the play for an audience of at least 2 classes. 'Slackers' will be pulled from the project and required to write a play on their own. The class is also required to keep a calendar in order to stay on track and complete the project on time. This is a student wirtten and directed play."
