During a study of folktales and fairytales, third-grade students in Karen Reilly’s and Lauren Bianco’s class at Winthrop Avenue collaborated on scripts, which adapted the popular tale of the “Three Little Pigs” to incorporate leadership principles and core values.
The students were split into small groups to write their own version of the tale and to create new characters, settings, tag lines, lessons learned and emphasis on a main core value or leadership principle. The students utilized their Chromebooks to write the scripts and memorized their lines over a two-month period. Technology teacher Lauren Pedone then recorded the students’ performances.
