8th Grade Reader's Theater

Preparing to read The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare, students were broken up into groups and assigned a script to perform in front of their class. This Readers Theater assignment offered students a fun, interactive way to build fluency and motivated the students to experiment with language, work with expression, pacing, tone, inflection, meaning,and interpretation. They had a great time acting out all of their scenes in front of the class!
