Ancient, Stars and History of Astronomy Class Play
Ancients and the Stars Class Play
Written by Sue Russell
Cast of around 25, Duration around 10 - 20 minutes.
This class play on the history of astronomy and star gazing has a cast dating from prehistory to the present day! Quite a challenge (as always!) for our narrator! Most at ease with 'civilized' Ancients', there are still those tricky moments with tricky characters - like overly curious astrologers!
Lots of fun rock music as always to enhance this star cast performance!

This script allows students to perform and act out the rotation and revolution of Earth. The reader's theater explains the day and night cycle, the difference between rotate and revolve, and the causes of the seasons.
Some ideas are to have your students form small groups to perform for other students. Have them create props, a background, add silly voices... anything to help them comprehend! Kids love acting!
