Our tableau vivant activity was to take only three pictues depicting the fable of the ant and the grasshopper. While the ant toiled to prepare for winter, the grasshopper was carefree and did not have the foresight that ant did. When winter came, the ants were prepared while the grasshopper was starving. I thought the activity was a great group activity that everyone contributed to. It made the story much more interesting and memorable than if we had just read it.
Beyond just being applicable to art class, students can reenact important scenes from a novel, play or story and capture it with pictures. That same concept can be applied to historically significant moments that students are learning about in history class.
