Answer to Question 2

Characters: There may be one or more people, animals, or fantastical characters.
Verbal expression: Stories may be told using words, sounds, or a combination of both as well as through mime.
Use of body: The characters must act out their role through carefully planned movements. Plot: The story is presented in a sequence, the simplest being beginning, middle, and end. Conflict: Stories are most interesting when there is a problem or conflict that needs to be solved. Setting: Stories usually occur in a particular time and place.
Mood: Throughout a story, the characters may exhibit a variety of moods that relate to what is happening to them and around them.
Theme: The main idea or purpose of a story.

Example: SettingUsing pantomime, children will act out walking to school. Then I will tell them to imagine the setting has changed to a rainstorm. Now how would they walk to school? Other settings to try would include: What if the roads and sidewalks turned into mud? What if they turned into a desert? A forest? A mountain?
