The Performances: I'm a Fisher,I'm a Farmer
''... peanut buttered grasshoppers for lunch, home to the
yurt for baked prairie dog, evening games - race the
cockroaches ...''
Overview
I'm a Fisher, I'm a Farmer can be an individual class project or
a collective project including other subject teachers. Depending
on the time you have available to work with your students, it
could take two to four weeks in subject class preparation time
that will lead to an actual live 'Theater Performance'. A
performance for students, teachers and parents! The
performance educates all the students participating and the
audience, regardless of age. The performances could make a
great addition to a Parent's Day, Education Week, a community
event or maybe a fundraiser; not to mention, the grand opening
of your Geotheater!
