This is a wonderful book with numerous verbs for students to act out, a great cast of farm characters with a variety of voices. Each character has an opinion about Dumpy wanting to dance. I will read the book, stopping after the verbs to give students a chance to act them out if they choose to. We will also talk about how it is good to be true to yourself. Learners will interact with the text and with others. They will be given the opportunity to try a variety of voices for the different characters in the book.
Learning Goals
Students will become more aware of strong verbs, and will realize that it's good to stay true to who you are and what you want to do.

Words, words, words. Where would we be without them? They can make us laugh,cry, feel, think, reflect and push us to change the world. I have 40 years of experience teaching English Language Arts to adolescents-- and I am still smiling! What can I teach? If it deals with language, I can do it: grammar, literature, essay writing, creative writing, poetry,and word study to name a few. I have also directed plays for over 35 years for kids ranging from 3 to 18, and for adults in community theatre, so I can teach all aspects of Theater Arts. Because I am also an actress, I am energetic, enthusiastic and animated.
I believe, like Nelson Mandela has said, " Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." That is what teaching should be. AND, it should be fun!!
I have a BA in English and a MA in Humanities/Theater Arts, and a lifetime teaching certificate.
I am now retired. BUT, I am not tired of teaching-- it's who I am and what I do. I have 40 years worth of ideas to share with eager learners of all ages. Come learn and play with me.
