Hello TPT family!
I created this product because my students needed hands-on practice and review of play
terminology. I started with reviewing the terms with my students. Then I posted the anchor
chart and had them add the anchor chart to their homework folder and interactive notebooks.
There is a cut and paste activity and a frayer model activity. I allowed the students complete
the cut and paste before the frayer model, so they would have a better understanding of the
content. Additionally, I paired the cut and paste activity with a play we were reading together
in class. The students were to write the actual examples of the terminology from the play
under the vocabulary words that were pasted. I found that this gave them a deeper
understanding of the terms.
As always,

Happy Teaching!
Allison Rene’e
