Readers Theatre For Young Adults
by Kathy Howard Latrobe and Mildred Knight Laughlin
Twelve reproducible scripts from the classics serve as examples of the readers theatre format. In addition, the authors have identified scenes from 30 contemporary novels (e.g., Prairie Songs, Tex, Gentlehands, Z for Zachariah) that are suitable for adaptation to readers theatre. An annotated bibliography of recommended works completes the guide. This unique teaching tool helps students develop a thorough understanding of theme, character, and drama.
Readers Theatre for Children
by Kathy Howard Latrobe and Mildred Knight Laughlin
Activities that prepare children to participate in readers theatre are accompanied by reproducible scripts of classics (e.g., Little Women, Heidi, The Secret Garden) and suggested scenes from contemporary children's literature (e.g., Tuck Everlasting, The Wish Giver, The Whipping Boy, Stone Fox, Sarah, Plain and Tall) that students may use to develop their own scripts. A great way to introduce good books and perpetuate an interest in literature.
