Our third graders recently stepped back in time to become silent storytellers! To help improve our descriptive writing, we looked at classic Charlie Chaplin clips to see how much you can say without making a sound.

Students then teamed up to write, act, and film their own short, silent movies. We watched the clips together as a class and turned those big physical gestures into vivid descriptive words. It was a ton of fun and a great way for students to improve their vocabularies.
