The Ant and the Grasshopper

IT WAS SUGGESTED ON P4C.COM that this Aesop's fable might lend itself to different endings. I have written four endings, of which Ending one is the original.

Using drama or readers' theatre
The dialogues can be read around the class, performed as reader's theatre or performed as a drama. With young children, you can always read the parts yourself. Using drama, especially with younger children, I have found it useful to separate the acting from the reading which allows: * the readers to concentrate on the words and the actors on the actions * more parts to be available (acting is always very popular)
