After reading the book as a class with discussion along the way. Group the children in 4 groups of 5 and allow the children to pick a scene in the book and act it out in class. The children will have about 10 minutes to get their skit together and they will have 5 minutes or less to act out the scene to their fellow classmates. After each group has presented their skit the class will be asked: What did your classmates do that you thought was creative in acting out the scene. Did any groups do anything that you would have never thought of? Can you think of anything that could have been done differently if you were in different groups. This lesson is based off of Teks 117.10 for 4th graders

This is a really interesting way to present the lesson. As one who was very shy as a kid, how would you help those who are not excited about doing a skit?
I like this lesson. It is much more interesting than just reading the story and answering questions. I think it would engage the kids with active personalities and limited attention spans.
