Reader's Theater: Quadrilaterals
We used this reader's theater script to review our study of quadrilaterals. As we practiced, students chose sound effects (s.e.) and gestures (ges) to enhance the theatrical experience.
When practicing this reader's theater, students recite the characteristics of squares, rectangles, parallelograms, rhombuses, and trapezoids.

This play/skit is perfect for any middle school or high school student learning about the framing of the US constitution.
