The Adventures of Little Red Riding Hood
Предлагаемый сценарий мюзикла “Приключения Красной Шапочки” разработан и адаптирован с учётом возрастных особенностей и владения языком младших школьников (1–3 классы школ с углубленным изучением английского языка). Сценарий построен таким образом, что под общей канвой содержит в себе несколько мини-спектаклей. Поэтому его можно поставить как целиком, так и выбрав отдельные сцены. Может варьироваться и количество участников в зависимости от количества детей в группе (классе), то есть, при необходимости его можно сократить, убрав некоторые сцены, или, наоборот, добавить действующие лица, например, в сцене с заселением домика. Участие в общем мероприятии повышает мотивацию к изучению языка и стимулирует развитие каждого ребенка. Кроме того, в игровой форме повторяется лексика, изученная в 1–3-м классах. Большое количество танцев и песен, а также рифмованных реплик помогает сделать постановку веселой и привлекательной, так как дети этого возраста очень любят петь и танцевать, и облегчает процесс запоминания ролей. Таким образом, основными целями предлагаемого спектакля-мюзикла являются: повышение интереса учащихся к изучению английского языка; повторение лексики по пройденной тематике; активизация творческих способностей учащихся.
