Each year in grades one through eight, our students perform a play. The plays are carefully chosen to incorporate key themes of the curriculum, as well as address the social needs of the class. This year, Mme. Veronique and Ms. Johns collaborated to work with the students so they could perform this play from home! Students crafted the set, characters, and memorized their lines—all in French. Samples of student work including their characters, set designs, and video performances are below.

CAST THE PARTS FOR THE PLAY
You can use your stuffed animals, lego characters, make characters out of beeswax, or pick something else that you would like to use for your cast. You will be the narrator. You will need a little red hen, a cat, a dog, and a mouse. Draw a picture of your chosen characters in your main lesson book.
