Ask students to create a three-scene short play (Grade 3–5, advanced challenge) that dramatizes a community solving a local problem. Each scene must include dialogue and clear stage directions, and the play must incorporate at least three symbolic props used meaningfully in action. Require a one-paragraph explanation for each symbol describing its significance to characters and how it contributes to the community’s solution. Assess dramatic structure, character interaction, clarity of directions, and effective use of symbolism to convey theme and problem-solving.
