Grade 4 · Writing · Lesson 33

Write and perform a class play

A play script is a special form of writing that is meant to be performed. Unlike a story, a script tells actors exactly what to say and how to move. Writing a class play gives you the chance to combine storytelling, dialogue, and performance all in one project.
