DRUM DOGS graphic illustrations. Short stories that illustrate how DRUM DOG POWERS solve problems.
Paper and pens / pencils for the students.
Please arrange the space so that four student teams can sit together to create and write their story.
I CAN: Imagine and write stories; Contribute ideas and suggestions as a team member; Accept democratic, team decisions; Speak confidently; Create music from phonetic patterns.
Each classroom becomes four teams. Kids innovate short stories in which a DRUM DOG's POWER (ex. assistance) solves a problem (ex. lost child); They acquire public speaking skills to read their stories aloud. They learn phonetic skills to create DRUM DOG RHYTHMS that they play on hand drums.
DRUM DOGS welcomes caregivers and adult family members to participate. To insure having enough drums, Bob requires a count in advance for the attendance.
