Blind Bartimaeus derives from Mark 2,8 & 10 and follows closely with the gospel account. Reader's Theater version is great for Christian classroom, Bible study or home schooling. Script includes activities to "get into character". Eleven characters, 20 minutes.
Part of a series on the Gospel of Mark
During 2009 plans are to make the gospel of Mark available in several formats:
1) By chapter through the eyes of witnesses (both believers and those antagonistic to the gospel)
2) With text connections (for you teachers and home schoolers this means with explicit text to Bible, text to text, text to world and text to self connections)
3) In small vignettes for memorized as well as reader’s theater productions.
All three will be found on a page from the reader’s theater page. (Even what’s NOT reader’s theater)

Besides the traditional classroom I have taught in the prison system, residential mental health facilities and in theaters across the country. Currently I work in alternative education at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Suffolk, Virginia. I teach English and science for grades 4-8. I also am a Drama Club sponsor at JFKMS and a drama minister at Fools for Christ http://mysite.verizon.net/vze4p7te/foolsforchrist I offer a number of free scripts at that site.
