Any creative ideas on teaching story elements to fourth graders not interested in reading?! Any creative ideas on teaching story elements to fourth...

I would let the
kids act out the play. You can address story elements as you move along. Kids, especially at
this age, love the interaction. It is fun and definitely beats sitting at a desk in a classroom.
I also like the idea of letting them create their own stories. This can be done by splitting the
class into groups and having them brainstorm ideas. They can create a story and then they can
even act it out to the rest of the class and have the class discuss characters, plots,
etc.
