History of Immigration Readers Theater
This readers theater explains the history of immigration to the United States. I have used it as a whole class language arts/history activity by numbering each line. My students all have numbers so it is easy for them to see what part they have to say. Each line is short as to keep the reading moving. The script can be adapted for any number of students by editing the numbers next to each line. I have used this readers theater as an introduction to a unit as well as a final wrap-up.
