The Canterbury Tales Bundle (Collection of Six Reader's Theater Script-Stories)
Ever have troubles teaching The Canterbury Tales? Use this collection of six script-stories to generate student interest in Geoffrey Chaucer's classic. Allow your students to inhabit the characters as they learn why these tales have been celebrated for hundreds of years. Each script is approximately 30-40 minutes. Chaucer's humor is still evident, but some of the stories' rougher edges have been softened to make them classroom-appropriate. These tales end up being a favorite of my students.Note:
