In this project, students build their reading fluency and comprehension skills as they create engaging video productions of fables and folktales from diverse cultures. Students work in teams to engage in a close reading of selected stories, create storyboards, and write Reader’s Theater–style scripts for these stories and then plan and produce their dramatic readings as video stories for a class Storytime Channel. Student hosts conclude each story with an explanation of the story’s central message, moral, or theme.
