I’ve often found it challenging to find books that I love to use with my older students so I created this fairy tale project to use possibly familiar stories in a way that allows students to work together to create short speech pieces/raps and put together an entire classroom performance, if you desire.
Today I'm sharing the process I use with my students for this project over four class periods. Use it as a guide with your students or follow it as shared!
You can use this project with the fairy tale stories that I’m sharing today or use other themed literature: the little people musical artist books would work for this, Aesop’s fables, or any group of stories based on a theme. Love the project and want to use it in your classroom? Head to www.jessicagrant.org, click on shop and look for Fairy Tales: Drumming and Speech Piece.
You can also read the transcript of the episode in the podcast page on the website.
