Construye Un Cuento (Build a Story) with Valentina Ortiz
Learning Target: I can explore how my voice can change to embody characters and setting, and understand that my choices affect what an audience feels about the story.
Learning Summary: Students will identify with the character of the story through basic research and body movements. There will be a closing reflection about how important it is that a person has unique authentic stories, how it is crucial to listen to other persons´ unique stories, and how listening to our different versions brings us together as a community.
