What educators are saying

I love using reader's theater for fluency practice. This resource was a great tie in to U.S. history and our study of Westward Expansion.
Reader's Theater is an engaging and different way of presenting the material. I like how it includes historical information in a narrative form. A fun activity for my students who like to be the center of attention or are interested in theater. I always make this a volunteer activity.

Description

On February 28, 1803, President Thomas Jefferson got approval by Congress for an expedition to explore the lands of the Louisiana Purchase. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were asked by President Thomas Jefferson to led the expedition. On May 14, 1804, the expedition called, the Corps of Discovery began. They would return home two years later, in 1806. The expedition helped to open up the west for expansion by people seeking a better life.
