1) Stephanie Mazzaro, Kaitlyn Nowicki, Caitlin Dillon, Kerri Kay
2) 4th-6th grade but can vary depending on the amount of help given by the teacher
3) The subject matter for this project is English Language Arts, specifically vocabulary.
4) One objective for this project is to show the students that a written definition is not the only way to convey the meaning of a word’ and that sometimes acting out a definition can get across the meaning of a word just as well as a regular definition.
5) This project could be used in a classroom because it encourages them to think outside the box. Giving them a word they probably have not used before, but has an easy enough meaning to act out in a movie. Then have them come up with their own way of portraying the definition without giving the written definition
