completed, each group will create a choral reading incorporating the nursery
rhyme with its origin. A sample has been provided. In order to model what is
expected, the teacher may want a small group of students to perform the choral
reading provided. See the blackline master entitled, The Origin of Humpty
Dumpty. Be creative!

perform the choral reading they have created. The groups may wish to create
