Echoes of Sorrow: Picasso’s Guernica

Captivate Motivate Educate,

I have long been fascinated by Picasso’s large-scale painting, Guernica. If you haven’t seen it, click here. This painting depicts Picasso’s view of the horrors of war–specifically the German bombing of the small Spanish town of Guernica. Though this painting was completed in 1937, its subject and impact are still relevant today.

I wanted to create a readers’ theater script that would help students learn about the historical significance of Picasso’s painting.

The script is 11 pages long and includes 7 speaking roles.

In addition to the original script, I have created 10 enrichment ideas for teachers to extend the learning. Here’s your free copy!

I've been teaching for over 25 years. I've taught at the elementary level, but I'm currently teaching high school English including AP Language and Composition. I’ve recently opened a Teachers Pay Teachers store: Captivate Motivate Educate on Teachers Pay Teachers https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Captivate-Motivate-Educate I'm a self-taught artist and I strive to incorporate the arts in my teaching whenever I can. I believe our students need more chances to stretch their creative thinking skills. One of my current goals is to incorporate a makerspace in my classroom. I want to give students the opportunity to work with their hands in the English classroom.
