Stories as Plays

2nd Grade•30 minutes•WIDA

Learning Objective

I can tell why some stories are fun to see as a play.

A play is a story that is performed on a stage and includes dialogues between characters.

Plays are divided into parts called acts, which are made up of scenes that show specific situations.

Two genres of plays are comedy, which is funny, and tragedy, which deals with unfortunate events.
