Six life science scripts by Kathy Applebee
(yes, a bonus script and Power Point has been added and all scripts are now available as .PDF and Word.doc)
Readers theater is an excellent way to teach science content while improving fluency, comprehension and giving students an opportunity to shine. While providing authentic reasons to read and reread, students can analyze characters, plots and other story elements in an interdisciplinary study of these topics.

Not part of 4th curriculum. Also, some could be a bit more appropriate for 9 and 10 year olds.

Thanks for commenting. Sorry you were disappointed. What were you looking for? 4th grade? Which state?

My students love to get up in front of the class and put on a presentation, so this is perfect for them. I also love how the scripts have a lot of parts so that everyone can participate!

I know. My students get all excited about preforming too. And I love it later on when we are discussing something and they say "just like in the play". Thanks for providing such thoughtful comments. Enjoy.

This is an excellent way to incorporate plant vocabulary into the reading block. I can use this for determining the meaning of unknown words from context, check for decoding using Greek or Latin roots, and building task attention.

Too difficult for 4th grade!

I am sorry these seemed to be too difficult after you already purchased them. Would a different preview packet have helped? Please email me at kathleenpage-applebee@spsk12.net if you would like to talk about a way to make this situation satisfying.
