  1. Group Project Using Readers’ Theatre Lynn W. Zimmerman, PhD English Language Fellow Elbasan, Albania

  2. Dangerous Encounters • Read the text • If you were going to ask your students to create a script from this text, which characters would they need?

  3. Readers’ Theatre • Minimal theater in support of literature and reading • Narration serves as the framework of dramatic presentation • No stage sets • No costumes • No memorization

  4. Benefits of Readers’ Theatre • Repeated readings promotes fluency • Promotes reading • Relatively simple activity for the teacher

  5. The Hunter and the Alligator • Groups of 5 • Identify group roles • Organizer • Recorder • Reader • English checker • Time keeper • What else? • Identify the characters • How will you set the scene? • Do you need a narrator? • How long should it be?

  6. Feedback • What went well? • What were challenges? • How did you decide on your roles? • How did you decide who would do what? • Were there any problems? How did you resolve them? • What would have made this group project better?
