Teacher Notes (not visible to pupils)
"The Recess Queen" by Alexis O'Neill can also be found on YouTube, though this activity can be edited to be used with the book of your choice. *For a more challenging activity have the students create multiple tableaux of several scenes from the book. They can upload up to 10 photos to a single post by using the +add more option at the bottom of the camera roll before selecting the photos. Once the photos are selected, they can add a caption or recording to each one.
