Students will act out the story of two friends who make themselves flat so they can fit inside an envelope and travel across the globe by mail! Readers will learn about the pyramids, the Nile River, the Great Wall of China, and the Terra-Cotta Warriors as they join the main characters on a unique trip to Egypt and China. This Reader's Theater script features roles written to match multiple reading levels. Teachers can assign specific roles to their readers based on each student's current reading level, allowing all students to get involved in the same activity and feel successful! Students will gain confidence in their reading fluency through performance, regardless of their current reading ability. While performing with others, students will practice performance, interacting cooperatively, reading aloud, and using expressive voices and gestures to better tell the story. These drama scripts for students are a great way to teach literacy and engage all learners!
