Poetry Performance Short Improvised Script for Juniors

This short script is a mini performance of the narrative poem, Matilda (who told lies and was burned to death) by Hilaire Belloc. This drama unit turns the poem into an improvised performance, using mime, prepared dialogue, movement, sound and narrators who read the poem aloud and link all of the scenes together. The pack contains a detailed lesson plan that creates a great mini performance for juniors for a school assembly, a poetry topic day, or an end of term showcase.
