00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,583
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,273
-: Hello, I'm Gillian Jorgensen.

3
00:00:10,273 --> 00:00:13,524
I'm the education director at Book-it Repertory Theatre.

4
00:00:13,524 --> 00:00:16,010
-: My name is Nora and I'm in sixth grade.

5
00:00:16,010 --> 00:00:18,585
-: My name is Ruchie and I'm in second grade.

6
00:00:18,585 --> 00:00:20,270
-: For today's lesson,

7
00:00:20,270 --> 00:00:22,650
we will explore a cause and effects story

8
00:00:22,650 --> 00:00:25,580
called Hatch, Egg, Hatch.

9
00:00:25,580 --> 00:00:28,750
To do this story you'll need a lot of imagination

10
00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:30,320
and a few props.

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,020
We are making a nest out of blank note cards or paper,

12
00:00:35,020 --> 00:00:37,210
and on those we'll be drawing pictures

13
00:00:37,210 --> 00:00:38,380
of things that can hatch.

14
00:00:38,380 --> 00:00:41,091
You can use markers or crayons or pencils,

15
00:00:41,091 --> 00:00:44,600
anything you like to make your drawings.

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,060
You'll also need something that looks a little bit

17
00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:49,140
or a lot like an egg.

18
00:00:49,140 --> 00:00:51,461
It can be something that you already have in your house,

19
00:00:51,461 --> 00:00:53,540
or a rock, or a stone,

20
00:00:53,540 --> 00:00:56,560
or you can make one up out of paper,

21
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,850
or even a squishy sponge.

22
00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:00,878
Any of those things will work to make your nest

23
00:01:00,878 --> 00:01:02,650
and your egg.

24
00:01:02,650 --> 00:01:04,650
Hey Nora, what are some things you might draw

25
00:01:04,650 --> 00:01:06,780
on your note cards of things that hatch?

26
00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:08,940
-: Well I could put like things that would hatch,

27
00:01:08,940 --> 00:01:12,630
like maybe a bird, a snake, some sort of animal.

28
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:16,993
or things that wouldn't like pizza, flowers,

29
00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:19,940
unicorns!

30
00:01:19,940 --> 00:01:20,773
-: Blue tape!

31
00:01:20,773 --> 00:01:23,000
-: (Gasps) Yes, that is definitely something

32
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,840
that I would like, an egg that hatched blue tape.

33
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,840
Ruchie, what are some other things you think you might draw?

34
00:01:29,060 --> 00:01:30,820
-: A bean bag?

35
00:01:30,820 --> 00:01:31,653
-: Oh yeah sure.

36
00:01:31,653 --> 00:01:32,486
-: And,

37
00:01:35,380 --> 00:01:37,075
It's okay some 
-: A book!

38
00:01:37,075 --> 00:01:39,810
-: A book, a hatching book, okay I love it, I love it.

39
00:01:39,810 --> 00:01:41,479
Alright, we are going to take our time

40
00:01:41,479 --> 00:01:42,312
-: I'm sticking with blue tape though

41
00:01:42,312 --> 00:01:43,436
-: And sticking with blue tape? Okay.

42
00:01:43,436 --> 00:01:46,030
We are going to take our time to draw those things,

43
00:01:46,030 --> 00:01:49,810
but for you watching, it will take no time at all.

44
00:01:49,810 --> 00:01:52,570
Alright, we're getting ready to build our nest.

45
00:01:52,570 --> 00:01:56,294
Nora and Ruchie and I each drew on our own card

46
00:01:56,294 --> 00:02:00,150
things we thought might hatch out of nests.

47
00:02:00,150 --> 00:02:03,380
Some things serious, some things not so much.

48
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:06,490
I drew a sock,

49
00:02:06,490 --> 00:02:07,433
and a bird.

50
00:02:08,610 --> 00:02:10,470
There's part of a nest right there.

51
00:02:10,470 --> 00:02:11,569
Nora, what did you make?

52
00:02:11,569 --> 00:02:16,569
-: I drew a happy cloud, an angry fire monster,

53
00:02:16,940 --> 00:02:18,500
and a chicken.

54
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:19,333
-: Thank you.

55
00:02:19,333 --> 00:02:20,166
Ruchie, what did you draw?

56
00:02:20,166 --> 00:02:22,950
-: I drew water that is rolling it's eyes,

57
00:02:22,950 --> 00:02:24,790
and a little puff ball fox.

58
00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:26,740
-: And a puff ball fox, look at that.

59
00:02:26,740 --> 00:02:31,730
We have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven

60
00:02:31,730 --> 00:02:33,961
different stories we can tell right there.

61
00:02:33,961 --> 00:02:38,120
We can also use this as our nest,

62
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,510
for an egg that might hatch on its own.

63
00:02:40,510 --> 00:02:43,110
Oh Ruchie, I see you've got that soft cloth,

64
00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:45,510
will you put the soft cloth right in the middle?

65
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,930
Alright.

66
00:02:47,930 --> 00:02:51,630
Sometimes our story ideas come from just our heads,

67
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:54,537
and sometimes they come from working together

68
00:02:54,537 --> 00:02:56,420
to make an object that gives us

69
00:02:56,420 --> 00:03:00,138
a more heart idea to how a story could work.

70
00:03:00,138 --> 00:03:00,971
How's it coming Ruchie?

71
00:03:00,971 --> 00:03:02,530
-: Good.

72
00:03:02,530 --> 00:03:03,501
-: Okay, good.

73
00:03:03,501 --> 00:03:05,030
Here we go.

74
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:07,910
So we have our story idea cards,

75
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:10,300
that are making the border of the nest,

76
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:12,360
to keep our eggs safe.

77
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,530
And then Ruchie has put together the cloth

78
00:03:15,530 --> 00:03:18,240
that is just ready for the nest for the egg.

79
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,073
-: May I have the egg?

80
00:03:19,073 --> 00:03:20,370
-: Yes.

81
00:03:20,370 --> 00:03:23,920
We are using a stone egg in our home.

82
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,660
You could use anything you want,

83
00:03:25,660 --> 00:03:27,839
as long as there's an agreement with your family

84
00:03:27,839 --> 00:03:29,200
of what to use.

85
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,460
It might be cool to use a real egg,

86
00:03:31,460 --> 00:03:33,840
but it might also be very messy.

87
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,673
There you go.

88
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:39,065
-: I'm going to tuck it in.

89
00:03:39,065 --> 00:03:40,144
-: Okay.

90
00:03:40,144 --> 00:03:41,989
-: Get the egg tucked in.

91
00:03:41,989 --> 00:03:42,822
-: Alright.

92
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,120
Thank you Ruchie.

93
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,520
Okay so we have our story cards

94
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,080
and our gentle nest,

95
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,980
and we thought of three magical ways

96
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:54,670
that this egg might hatch.

97
00:03:54,670 --> 00:03:56,590
Nora, will you show your idea?

98
00:03:56,590 --> 00:03:58,443
-: You could play a little song.

99
00:03:58,443 --> 00:04:03,443
[Nora] (harmonica plays)

100
00:04:10,107 --> 00:04:13,380
-: Yeah, and Nora I heard an extra story in that story.

101
00:04:13,380 --> 00:04:16,060
Almost the story of how when the song faltered,

102
00:04:16,060 --> 00:04:18,130
what might that do to the egg?

103
00:04:18,130 --> 00:04:19,902
-: Ruchie, what idea did you come up with?

104
00:04:19,902 --> 00:04:24,152
Ruchie: (coo-coo whistle plays)

105
00:04:25,774 --> 00:04:27,931
Oh yeah, a bird call.

106
00:04:27,931 --> 00:04:30,580
A bird calling to the nest.

107
00:04:30,580 --> 00:04:33,810
-: Or something like a soft wing or wind.

108
00:04:33,810 --> 00:04:35,130
-: Oh right, so thinking about

109
00:04:35,130 --> 00:04:36,860
the outside of the environment.

110
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:39,150
Just from these ideas right here,

111
00:04:39,150 --> 00:04:42,870
lets show them what we came up with as a family.

112
00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:46,000
We found a way to make bird patterns with our hand.

113
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,200
They'll look pretty similar if you've ever made

114
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,033
shadow birds.

115
00:04:49,033 --> 00:04:52,760
We've got our bird head with our thumbs together,

116
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,020
and our bird wings.

117
00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:58,650
-: Yeah, the shadows on this really do look like birds.

118
00:04:58,650 --> 00:04:59,930
-: They do.

119
00:04:59,930 --> 00:05:01,690
And we thought of a way to almost make

120
00:05:01,690 --> 00:05:04,340
a bird hatching play, just a tiny bit.

121
00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:05,252
Here it is.

122
00:05:05,252 --> 00:05:09,049
Everyone: (whooshing)

123
00:05:09,049 --> 00:05:11,356
Everyone: Hatch little bird, hatch little bird,

124
00:05:11,356 --> 00:05:14,930
hatch little bird, hatch, hatch little bird,

125
00:05:14,930 --> 00:05:17,698
hatch little bird, hatch little bird, hatch,

126
00:05:17,698 --> 00:05:21,020
hatch little bird, hatch little bird, hatch little bird,

127
00:05:21,020 --> 00:05:25,350
hatch, hatch, little bird, hatch!

128
00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:26,650
-: What could happen next?

129
00:05:26,650 --> 00:05:28,340
When we release our hands up,

130
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:29,640
what could be under there?

131
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,450
It's still our egg,

132
00:05:32,450 --> 00:05:35,950
but it could be anything.

133
00:05:35,950 --> 00:05:37,950
Nora, what would you want to do next with this?

134
00:05:37,950 --> 00:05:41,670
Would you want to write it down, act it out, draw it?

135
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:42,800
-: I would act it out.

136
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,121
-: You would act it out, okay.

137
00:05:44,121 --> 00:05:46,080
Thank you, thank you thank you.

138
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,260
Ruchie, what would you do?

139
00:05:47,260 --> 00:05:48,310
Would you act it out,

140
00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:49,870
and I want you to pause for a moment

141
00:05:49,870 --> 00:05:51,344
on that exciting coo-coo whistle,

142
00:05:51,344 --> 00:05:55,530
would you want to act it out, draw it,

143
00:05:55,530 --> 00:05:57,386
or write it out as a whole story?

144
00:05:57,386 --> 00:05:59,130
Ruchie: (coo-coo whistle plays)

145
00:05:59,130 --> 00:06:00,023
-: Act it out?

146
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,380
Draw it?

147
00:06:02,380 --> 00:06:05,100
Oh yeah, draw it.

148
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:07,190
And I would write it,

149
00:06:07,190 --> 00:06:08,940
because that is my favorite thing to do.

150
00:06:08,940 --> 00:06:13,550
I love writing stories, Nora loves acting stories,

151
00:06:13,550 --> 00:06:15,931
and Ruchie loves drawing stories.

152
00:06:15,931 --> 00:06:20,020
We came up with all those ways from these story cards

153
00:06:20,020 --> 00:06:22,004
that we drew of things that might hatch,

154
00:06:22,004 --> 00:06:24,660
making a gentle nest,

155
00:06:24,660 --> 00:06:26,597
and putting an egg inside it.

156
00:06:26,597 --> 00:06:30,250
All different ways to hatch your imagination.

157
00:06:30,250 --> 00:06:33,040
Some of my favorite stories are ones with birds in them,

158
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,620
especially birds that can transform into people.

159
00:06:35,620 --> 00:06:37,940
It makes me curious about the world.

160
00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:39,398
What makes you curious?

161
00:06:39,398 --> 00:06:43,170
In Hatch, Egg, Hatch, I was able to do that story

162
00:06:43,170 --> 00:06:45,317
with my kids Nora and Ruchie.

163
00:06:45,317 --> 00:06:49,130
You can do this story with your family, your friends,

164
00:06:49,130 --> 00:06:50,630
or your neighbors,

165
00:06:50,630 --> 00:06:52,996
or even all by yourself.

166
00:06:52,996 --> 00:06:54,704
Happy creating!

167
00:06:54,704 --> 00:06:57,287
(upbeat music)
