Reader's Theatre Info:

Today in drama, it will be different.  We will be looking at a few scripts first, to demonstrate a beginning, middle, and end in a story.  The students have struggled in the past with this concept.  Their improve starts well and then drifts off.  This concept will also translate into story making and the Common Core English Language Arts standards.
