Donkey Tale 2: Adding Dialogue Lesson

Donkey Tale 2: Adding Dialogue Lesson

Challenge your students to take their story dramas to the next level by adding dialogue. Building off our first Donkey Tale Lesson, this extended lesson asks students to plan and practice their own versions of the story, this time adding a moment of dialogue that reveals something about their character. This lesson is a great way for students in grades 4-6 to learn about character, emotions, and collaboration, while integrating the Language Arts concepts of dialogue, conflict and cause and effect.
