Strega Nona Tableau


Students are working in teams to create a frozen picture or "tableau." They were asked to identify the problem and solution within the story, "Strega Nona." The students were also aware of finding their "focal point" when asked to freeze and worked to have three different levels in their tableau.  They only had one minute to work as a group to show what part they would play and to make their picture have levels. Keep up the great work!!
 Go! 2nd Graders!!
