A CATERPILLAR´S VOICE (ANA GARCÍA)

 This is an activity designed for students of year 5 in a school with the British Council project. It´s a theatre play called "A Caterpillar´s Voice".

As one of the topics they study in Science is vertebrates, the students are going to act out a piece of theatre about animals.
First, they choose the animal they want to be; it must be a big and strong animal. Once they have decided on the animal, they start making and decorating masks for each of them. They must also practse making the sound of the animal of their choice.
They are given this situation for the play:
A caterpillar gets into a hare´s cave while the hare is taking a walk. As he finds out that the cave has an echo that makes his voice sound loud, he decides to stay there and frighten all the animals that dare to get into the cave, as the hare asks othe strong animals for help. Students are given some clues and structures and with the help of the teacher they have to write a diologue to act out.
