Name: Grace Gaspar Lesson Title: Drama Lesson Plan

Date: 4/3/2022 Grade Level: Kindergarten Circle one: ECE PKSN
Standard(s)/Guideline(s): English Language Arts: RL.K. 9 With
prompting and support, compare and contrast the adventures and experiences of
characters in familiar stories.
Fine Arts: Drama: K.2PE Work cooperatively to create imaginary characters using costumes and props to dramatize a story.
Pre-assessment of current knowledge: Students are able to retell common stories that we have read throughout the year like little red riding hood or
the three little pigs.

Instructional Objectives (2-3) Assessment of Student Learning Learning Experience

Two- Three Assessed
Instructional Objective(s): The
student will be able to...
-Modify a common story by
listening to the story, retelling to a
classmate, and exploring the
characters.
-Students will be able to bring the
story they modified to life by
assigning roles, creating
appropriate outfits, and performing
their play in front of the class.
One Assessed Developmental
Skill:
-verbal storytelling
-speaking and listening skills
Identify Evidence: (What will you collect or record as data
to demonstrate students have met your objective(s) and
skill?)
-I will have students record modifications they have made
to the story on paper and collect the data to make sure
they worked together and changes aspects of the story.
-I will have a checklist that I will use while the children are
working together to evaluate that they are discussing the
characters, working together, writing the information on
paper, assigning roles, practicing the script, and getting
costumes for characters.
-I will also have a rubric for the performance that will have
0,1,2,3 with 3 being the full points. 3 will have categories
for.. did they include a change in the familiar story, did they
assign roles, did they act out the play, did they wear
costumes, and did they add expression, thought, and
practice into the performance.
Program Monitoring: (How will you aggregate or compile
your evidence into a class or group view?)
I would record each performance and show it to parents. I
would also have each student discuss with one other
student in a different group about what they liked.
Academic Language:
-theater
-performance
-modification
-script
-expression
Procedural steps:
1. I will begin the lesson by reading a few familiar
stories aloud: Little Red Riding Hood, The Three
Little Pigs, Rapunzel, etc..
2. I will have the students pick their favorite stories and
then assign groups based on reading level,
preferred story, etc
3. Once in groups, the students will read the book once
again and then discuss their favorite parts
4. Then they will all receive a worksheet where they
can write their favorite part and one thing they would
change
5. Then the students would talk about what they want
to change and decide together what to change
about the story.
6. They will receive sentence stems in order to
complete the script
7. The students will write in their changes made to the
story using the sentence stems provided to guide
their writing
8. They will then assign roles and practice acting out
the play

9. They will pick costumes and outfits the characters

Safety Considerations:
-have adequate space for
exploration, preparation, and
performance.
Modifications: This activity could work well with all
students physically. If a student was non-verbal, then they
would have an important, non-speaking role in the play
and still collaborate with producing it. Students who need
assistance with writing or reading can be paired with
students who are stronger in that area and can guide
them.
are supposed to wear that are appropriate for their
specific role.
10. The students will practice their play together and
have one peer editing performance, which means
that they will perform for one other group before
their actual show.
11. The peer editing group will fill out a short checklist of
what they thought about the other group they
watched.
12. Finally, the students will perform their play in front of
the class, and I will record it.

Authentic Materials: (Describe authentic real life, hands-on

materials.)

-books
-costumes
-props
-script worksheet

Adult Roles: The teacher reads the stories to the class,

provides stories for the children to go through the books,
puts students in appropriate groups, scaffolds the script
writing helping organize ideas and articulate them, goes
around to each group and assists with writing and making
sure everything is running smoothly, provides costumes and
clothing to pick from, and records play.
