Compare and Contrast Historical Figures Partner Plays and Worksheet

Compare and contrast historical figures with this set of five partner plays! These scripts are intended to be used as fluency-building activities that students can read with a partner. This set of scripts focuses on comparing and contrasting two historical figures.

Each script also includes a BONUS follow-up Venn diagram activity. After reading each script, students fill out a Venn diagram that compares and contrasts key events that happened in the lives of the two characters featured in that script.

This resource is available in multiple formats. Each teacher gets to choose the format that best meets his/her students' needs. You will choose between the printable partner plays and the paperless version that uses Google Slides. Each script is exactly two pages, making it easy to print them back-to-back on a single page.

These scripts require minimal teacher support, thereby allowing teachers to work with other small groups. For teachers who implement reading centers, these plays are perfect. These scripts are also ideal for parents who are looking for fun at-home reading activities that parents and children can read together. If you have a child who is reluctant to read at home, I encourage you to give these scripts a try!

This set includes these five independent scripts:

• Young Heroes (Anne Frank and Malala Yousafzai)
• Healthcare Heroes (Florence Nightingale and Elizabeth Blackwell)
• Lewis and Clark (Meriwether Lewis and William Clark)
• Praiseworthy Princesses (Princess Diana and Grace Kelly)
• Surprising Similarities (Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy)

Here's what teachers like you had to say about using these partner play scripts with their students:

⭐️ Samantha G. said, "So helpful for my LD students to practice fluency and listening comprehension. They have so much fun reading and answering the questions."

⭐️ L.M.S said, "Really good stuff! The dramas were appropriate for the many reading levels in my class. The directions were clear, and Venn diagrams were useful. I followed up with the students using the Venn diagram to write a compare/contrast essay. Worth every penny!"

⭐️ Amie P. said, "Fun partner plays for students to use to practice fluency. Very minimal prep- just print and go!"
