Treating Elements of Story through Drama to 1st-Graders: Child Development Frameworks.

Creech, Nancy; Bhavnagri, Navaz

Childhood Education, v78 n4 p219-24 Sum 2002

Describes using drama to provide constant scaffolding as children learn to write stories. The 5-week process begins with collaboratively setting the stage, proceeds with scaffolding for reviewing the elements of stories (punctuation, the sequence of events, characterization, the plot problem and solution), and concludes with independent projects and the dramatization of the stories.
