Tableau

Have you ever heard the expression, "a picture is worth a thousand words"? In drama, the grade 6/7s are working together to make a living picture with their bodies, called a tableau. A tableau looks like a picture because everyone is standing as still as a statue.

The grade 6/7s used Padlet today to brainstorm ideas, keywords, and feelings about Remembrance Day, and grouped similar ideas together. Then, they chose a sequence of three groupings to tell a mini story. They will perform their series of three tableaux at our Remembrance Day assembly.

Below you can see the themes and ideas the grade 6/7s will be expressing.

Get your twisting feet ready. Here's the classic video "Monster Mash" with lyrics.





What to do if you have a ghost? Call the Ghostbusters!







Check out the drippy font in this next video. Could it even be Halloween without Michael Jackson's song "Thriller"? I don't think so.
