What educators are saying

My students loved this play. I turned it into a game afterwards (with the vocabulary) and they loved it even more! We acted it out and everything!
My students love reader's theaters this year and this was a perfect one for before Thanksgiving break. I loved the focus on SEL also.

Description

The Gift of Time is a Thanksgiving reader's theater script your middle school students will love! Practice fluency and speaking while incorporating Thanksgiving themes into your language arts instruction. This 13 character PDF script includes comprehension questions and word work activities, making this unit a flexible teaching resource you can use in multiple ways!

This Thanksgiving Reader's Theater and Reading Literature Toolkit includes:

• 8-page, 13-character script

• clear directions for immediate, seamless implementation

• reader response questions

• context clue word work

• post-reading journal prompts

• Story Map

• Answer Key

Estimated Lexile Measurement is 750.

This 8-page, 13-character script focuses on a group of students looking forward to the Holiday Food Strive—the annual school-wide food drive to support the City Food Pantry. The problem is that the students are more focused on bringing in the most items so they can win an ice cream and pizza party, not on the act of GIVING.

This Thanksgiving CCSS resource is a great resource for middle school readers to use throughout Thanksgiving and the holidays. They might even be inspired enough to come up with a school-wide giving event of their own.

You can also utilize these lesson plans with a substitute teacher to keep your students engaged while you are out of the classroom!
