slide8. Each group will have: 5 members (4 or 6 in rare cases. Mr. Peebles will decide these groups.)
1 group member will be the narrator. They are expected to read the fairytale enthusiastically with consistent and varying character voices.
All other group members are responsible for expressing the action of the story through body movement, use of space, pantomimed props and facial expression.
Each group member is to be doing something active in the scene at all times (being a character or scenic element). No one may stand stagnant and uninvolved.<br>
