Voice and Narration
Lesson Overview: This lesson integrates language arts and theater arts to explore the creative world of tall tales. Students will use the "Story Spine" framework to develop concise story outlines and transform them into dynamic sneak preview presentations. Throughout the lesson, students will write and polish their preview scripts while learning how to craft compelling introductions for their narrations. A key focus will be placed on helping students discover how actors use their voices effectively to bring stories to life through narration. This hands-on approach allows students to develop both their writing and performance skills simultaneously.
