International School of Louisiana - Westbank Campus Kindergarten, Drama & Social Studies Zeb Hollins III / Mrs. Victoria Recht
Students are learning about being a good citizen in their Social Studies class. The lesson began with the students, teaching artist, and classroom teacher traveling to Alphabet City, and Ms. Recht led a discussion on cultural differences. In-role as ‘Mr. Builder,’ Mr. Zeb prepared a separate group of ‘citizens' in the hallway to become the ‘Red Hots’. The Red Hots are loud, active newcomers who want to become citizens of Alphabet City. In-role as citizens, students voted on whether or not they can accept people who are different.
‘Alphabet City’ is a guided drama (episodic) focusing on rules, community, differences, responsibility, and respect. Students learn about characters, settings, and storytelling.
