Today, students worked through an activity that required them to think like Danny and the tiger, the central characters in Riding the Tiger.
To begin, we drafted questions we would ask Danny and the tiger, as well as comments we would make to them, given the chance to sit down an interview them. Then, students chose a character to "be" and responded to the comments/questions, in role. After students had a chance to think about how the character would act and respond to the questions, they role played with a partner, pretending to answer the questions as the character of their choice.
Over the past two classes, students were given many opportunities to practice their oral language skills!
