You get two books in one with this fine text! First, it exposes high school students to classic literature through readers theatre. Second, it encourages students to experiment with writing their own readers theatre script. This rich resource devotes a significant section to each of these goals, in addition to providing an overview of the techniques of readers theatre. You’ll find a treasury of 16 scripts from selected classics such as Wuthering Heights, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Scarlet Letter, and White Fang. Most of these selections require three to five actors and have a presentation time of five to ten minutes. The final part of the book contains 40 readers theatre ‘starters’ from young adult novels that have literary excellence, reader appeal, and potential for dynamic presentation, such as Lord of the Flies, Hatchet, and Summer of My German Soldier. These starters give suggestions on staging and scripting as well as the narrator’s opening and closing lines.
