Event
Dramatizing the Content: Cirriculum-based Readers Theater
Readers Theater is a rehearsed group presentation of a script that is read aloud rather than memorized. This workshop's activities involve teachers in the planning, writing, rehearsing, staging, and assessing of Curriculum-Based Readers Theatre scripts. The focus is on creating and presenting a short script that fulfills a dual purpose: it must inform about a curriculum topic, and entertain an audience. Repeatedly reading and rehearsing scripts based on curriculum content increase the likelihood that students will practice fluent reading, retain information, and perform better on assessments. Theatrical skills of vocal volume, expression, and effective use of gestures are also among the goals of this arts integration activity that merges drama, theatre, writing, reading, speaking, listening, and content learning. A book and workshop packet that contains sample scripts, guidelines for developing scripts and directing presentations, and other resources is included in the $30 workshop fee. For teachers who wish to use Curriculum-Based Readers Theatre as a form of performance-based assessment, assessment criteria and tools are also part of the packet. This workshop addresses all curriculum areas and many national and state standards of learning.
