| Young students’ story ideas come to life with On Stage. Kids select the elements-who, what, where, and when-to create a scene on stage. They can then view an animated sequence based on the scene they constructed or read a story generated from the selection. Through these activities, children re-tell and act out their favorite stories-and make up new ones -while developing language skills. | ||
Introduction
The On Stage TM “story-construction” program invites children to explore the elements of character, action, setting, and time as they create a story. These story elements can go together in many different ways to create a story. On Stage encourages children to construct their own story meaning through storytelling, reading, and writing. With On Stage children will find that there are many stories waiting to be discovered and told. Each story comes alive through the child’s imagination.
