Goal: To explore how to combine literacy and age appropriate ecology themes that encourage problem solving and critical thinking skills by using a variety of drama strategies.

Visit the imaginary, Beautiful Land of Truffula Trees. Transform yourself into a quiet pond.

Through observation, exploration and very active participation, teachers will make connections to age appropriate environmental literature and themes as they heighten children’s awareness of the world around them and the role that they can play in helping to protect the earth. Join us as we use this timely and important “green” theme to demonstrate a variety of drama strategies that can be applied to all forms of children’s literature. Includes handout.
