5. The Gods
(for list of speakers, 6 for each of the 5 plays, see preview)
This set of 5 guided reading play scripts on Ancient Egypt focuses on 5 different aspects of Ancient Egypt, and deliver them via 6 speakers each. Thus for a class of 30, there are 5 groups of 6 children. (For a smaller class size, a mini play may be dropped or the speakers re-allocated). Each 'mini play' comes with a quiz - an excellent assessment tool and means of focusing attention on actual learning content. I describe these plays as 'group readers' or guided reading materials; or readers' theater, as the scripts can be read as opposed to memorized, with no props.
Please note: Teaching time of 40 minutes is very approximate, depending on time spent on reading and answering quiz questions.
This is one of a collection of guided reading play scripts - written both for UK and USA elementary (and Middle) schools. In the case of the UK I have written one set of group readers per unit of work for Key Stage II of the History national
curriculum (Units 6 - 20) and have repeated this exercise for the USA Social Studies Elementary (and Middle) curriculum. Please visit my website www.plays-r-ussell.com for the complete list of group readers/readers theater I have written - under UK and USA catalogs.
