Creative Writing: Compose Group Role-Play to Say Nice things instead of Mean

After hearing the story called “Frogs and Newts or Gold Coins,” students will divide into small groups to compose a story of their own. In their group role-play, there will be two siblings, a grandparent, and one or two narrators. The two siblings will have a name-calling conflict.
