What educators are saying

This was a really great way to honor Veterans Day with my class. They were very engaged and learned about Veterans Day in a new lens than just learning about the different service branches.
I had 3 different groups perform this in class. Each group added their own flair to it. Reader's Theaters are a great way to put yourself in someone else's shoes and see their point of view.
