The creative and theatrical fifth graders celebrated the 7th Annual Winter Showcase last Friday with plays that students composed featuring original fairy tales. Students selected a character and followed them through to a full, five-minute story, working in small groups to craft a script, writing by committee. This year, stories explored ways to make the quarantine Zoom setting more engaging by adding sound effects, framing tricks, props “passed magically” through the camera lens and sometimes just shaking their entire device to simulate a meteor crash. Fifth and sixth grade theater teacher Mr. Baldwin was impressed by the students’ ingenuity in constructing original stories.
