Original Prompt

I want to teach grades 4-6 about tableau and mime, I'd like to create an assignment for them to do in groups

This learning resource focuses on the principles of tableau and mime, aiming to develop students' skills in storytelling without words. Students will learn how to create 'living pictures' through tableau, utilizing bodily postures, facial expressions, and levels to convey emotions and narrative. Additionally, they will practice mime techniques to express actions and feelings through movement alone. Collaborative activities will encourage students to work in pairs to create scenes and mime performances that reflect their understanding of these concepts. The document also includes a performance planning worksheet, success criteria, and reflection prompts to enhance the learning experience.
