The "whys" and "wherefores" of using the "Readers Theatre Technique" in the English classroom. The reproducible 16 prepared scripts from classic British and American novels such as Red Badge of Courage, David Copperfield, Scarlet Letter, Frankenstein, etc. can be used to introduce or in conjunction with these novels, or as a stand-alone drama unit. In addition, detailed suggestions for writing scripts for 40 other popular adult and young adult novels are provided. These are great materials for providing a "different" literary experience in the classroom. (Grades 7-12)
