Great reader's theater for all ages!
Met expectations
Great value
My students enjoyed role playing as they read through this reader's theater. It is well-written, includes several characters, and can be performed in small groups.
Thank you so much for the positive review.
We used this in drama class to reinforce the students history class. The students really grasped an understanding of the need and the process used to create these foundational documents.
I'm glad it worked for your students. Thanks for leaving feedback.
I enjoyed using this with my 8th graders! It was great to break up some of these topics and provide an avenue for creativity and 'acting'! My students enjoyed voicing the different historical figures and helping the historical information come to life. Would love to do more of these in the future!
I'm glad your students liked it.
Great resource for our 5th grade Founding Documents unit!
Great. Thanks, Trina.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
