Reader's Theatre

It was such a coincidence that we did a readers theatre script in class and my AIG students were currently working on one. I selected the folk tale The strongest One by Joseph Bruchac. It is a great folk tale that teaches life lessons on understanding self-worth, roles and responsibilities.

After working with the script for a few days, I had my kids jot down their feelings about it...

"I like the strongest one, actually its only okay."

"I like being little red ant because I like the character. I like having the feeling of a real ant. I like the language that I use. It gives me the feeling of being a real ant."

"I would like to do a play again because it makes me happy. It is fun!"

"I wouldlike to have a knight script like Narnia. I would also like more lines to read because I only had three."

"I wold like to do more, but the next time no animals."

"I enjoy the play a lot. I wouldlike to do another play. I wnjoy the parts. I am getting better at making the voice."

"I wouldlike to have another readers theater. I would like for it to be about pirates."

"I feel when i do this it makes me feel like a movie star. And i would like to do it again someday."

"I like the strongest one, but I want to have more theater stories."

"I enjoy doing plays. I want to do a different play. I love my parts. I play third ant and fire. I have fun with the people I work with. i love the play."

Sounds like the performance was a hit and one you better repeat! :) I love that you asked them to reflect and posted their comments. Pretty insightful little people, particularly the one who wants to work on "voice". Well done!
