D75-24-5154: From Page to Stage: Transforming Books into Engaging Plays for Learning
Arts, Literacy 2024/2025
Description: In this professional development session, teachers will discover the art of turning beloved books into captivating plays. They will learn how to use foundations of theater, devising, and storytelling to enhance reading comprehension, ignite students' enthusiasm for literature, and strengthen the foundational reading skills of young learners. During the workshop, EPIC Players, an inclusive Theater Company, will use a book from the HMH curriculum to explore the creative process of adapting books into engaging plays, linking text to self-connections, and fostering a dynamic and interactive classroom environment that inspires a lifelong love for reading. We ask classroom teachers to bring a text you want to bring alive!
