Elementary School

What do you do with an idea? Lesson

When I first read this book I was very taken with the concept and the illustrations and knew I wanted to create something about this story to add to my drama lesson plans. I enjoy this unit because it allows students to borrow from other art disciplines, be in control of the narrative, discuss confidence & vulnerability, and unpack disagreeing with someone else’s idea.
