I think these activities are really cute and they will get students engaged. I know when I was in school, I loved when we got to read plays and read certain character parts. I feel that elementary children will really enjoy the reader’s theatre because it is getting them involved but it is also a great teaching strategy and it is helping encourage their reading skills and comprehension. This activity goes along with morphology because it conveys meaning of the story.
I thought the sketch to stretch activity was also great. This goes along with what we have talked about all semester about modeling for students. This is a great way to get students involved without them actually having to do work. It would also be a great idea to expand on this activity and have the students create their own artistic impression of a scene or selection of the book.
