Second grade has been focusing on pantomime (acting without sound or props) and used this technique in a variety of ways. We talked about setting and used pantomime to act out different places with some students as the directors and some as the actors. We talked about emotion words and used pantomime and expression to demonstrate different feelings as well as create scenes that involved one or two feeling words. We were even circus performers who created mini circus acts that followed prerecorded circus music from you tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjedLeVGcfE using pantomimed juggling balls, lions, and other circus apparatus! Most recently, we read the book: I was a Second Grade Werewolf by, Daniel Pinkwater. After acting the story out (using pantomime) in our drama bubble, we decided to create our own spin on the story. Pictured above are some of our ideas! There are some very creative students in second grade!
