Choral reading and Reader's Theater... 04/17/2008
Ms. Cardona led our class through a Reader's Theater exercise today! Reader's Theater is an activity in which students, while reading directly from scripts, are able to tell a story without props, costumes, or sets. This is a reading activity and students are not asked to memorize their lines. They are, however, encouraged to "ham it up" and use intonation and gestures appropriate to their characters and their characters' words. Readers Theater provides repeated reading practice, an important factor in building fluency. CommentsLeave a Reply |
