Drama Lesson Super Heroes| Costume Design| Storytelling and Movement

BUNDLE! Who likes Super Man, The Blue Hornet and Wonder Woman? Most students, right? These Dramamommaspeaks drama lessons study costume design, playwriting storytelling, tableau and movement use super heroes as their focus! These are great in an elementary gifted class or middle school drama class. If you choose to use each lesson, this bundle can take about a week to complete.

How can I use this bundle in my classroom? If I were you, I'd pull out this bundle near the end of a semester or the year. It's highly engaging, fun and just a wee bit challenging at the same time. Students will love that you worked to relate to them, because we all know, students LOVE super heroes!
