The Principal's New Clothes - Reader's Theater for the Entire Class!
This reader's theater is for the entire class! You will need at least 11 students but more is always better. This ties into my other twisted fairy tales except that it was written to do as a class. I split my class into two groups and both groups practice. When we perform we discuss what things we liked about each group. I use this to introduce the small group reader's theaters I have them do the rest of the year. I have also come back to the script at the end of the year to perform in front of

Classroom Script - A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
Performed this script with my fifth graders for several years. Almost all of the dialogue comes directly from the book. The only additional character is that of "grandma" Belle (in the story she broke off her engagement to Scrooge) as the narrator's voice and to tie up the story at the end. Final pages include all blocking instructions for each scene. Enjoy!

Area, Volume, and Perimeter - Oh My! Spanish Math Reader's Theater
This Spanish reader's theater is for a small group of 4 students. In Spanish, it is called 'Perimetro, Área y Volumen – VAMOS!' The idea of this reader's theater is to reinforce the formulas used to find each of the equations as well as to teach and practice the language involved. It is just one more way to tie Spanish, Language Arts, and Math together. Math has a language all its own and it is very important to find ways to practice it. Spanish is also important to practice in as many fun ways
