Reader's Theatre!
Put the ARTS in Language Arts....
Enjoy the drama of great books... Read Aloud. Join in & breath life into literature with your students. The library is always interested in ways to spice up things... so don't be surprised if a class is hosting a Reader's Theater, or some other performance based activity. While you may just want to watch, we also hope that we will have participating classes (teachers & students) to make our library a dynamic and fun place to be. Plan ahead and tie into your curriculum. Why not ask your students to create short scripts derived from a favorite book. (or completely original shorts inspired by their favorite books.) A smartly written and performed story might inspire others to read the book.
