Have to teach a class on Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?

Question

I have to teach as class on this book for drama. I have no ideas on how to do it. Basically I have to have the class act out the book with props, costumes, masks, ect... Can you help please.

Answer 1

Just remember that  those young students and

even the older ones learn a wholelot better visually that through just talking or reading .

Use lots of characters and give them parts , Use lots of visual charts , and very little talking through something ( Lecture )

Good luck and God bless

Answer 2

What age is this, prek, school age, middle/high school or college?  I saw somewhere you can only answer once, but if you mail me or post again, I may be able to help you.  It reinforces colors, animal names and what they look like and teaches about zoos.  It is very simple text, so it would be easy for you to narrate and have one person be each, your teacher be the teacher and the other people in the class be the many kids at the end.  If it is younger you could have the class make the masks and costumes or backdrop... painting or drawing the zoo scenery.

Answer 3

This sounds exciting.  Have your students dress in the color of their character and then add props and masks to make the animal.  Have your Brown Bear sitting in the middle of all the colorful animals and playing a game of "I spy" as the narrator asks "Brown Bear Brown Bear what do you see?" the Bear will then respond and that animal will stand up and act accordingly.  Does that make sense?  Hope it gets your started....

Answer 4

Oh what a FUN FUN assignment!!  I would give someone bear ears, have someone dress up as a teacher, etc, for each page of the book, and have a narrator asking each character what they see down the line... that sounds really fun!
