Reader's Theater Scripts
Salutations!
My dear fourth graders, as promised, I am posting the links of the sites where you can get the script for your Reader's Theater project. (Note: Just click the title of each reader's theater script.)
Feel free to print them out ( and photocopy them). Don't forget to acknowledge the source of the script you are going to use. Just "copy-paste" the URL (http:....) of the web page at the bottom of your script.
Script A: Peddler Polly
PREVIEW: The storytellers of Taletown are mysteriously losing their stories, while a stranger sells “storyboxes” in the town square.
Script B: How Frog Went to Heaven
PREVIEW: Frog helps a young man who wants to marry the Sky Maiden.
Script C: The Adventures of Mouse Deer
PREVIEW: Mouse Deer is small, and many animals want to eat him—but first they have to catch him.
Script D: Special Asignment
PREVIEW:Zoe Brown is unhappy. She thinks her teacher gave her the most boring topic for her computer class’s Web site project. When Zoe starts her research, she finds an unusual online source that provides her with important -- possibly life-saving -- information that changes her mind about her assignment.
Script E: A Mystery Message
Preview: An old box contains a century-old mystery message!
Script F: Lace Up Against Bullying
