Mrs. McGowan' Class
Readers Theater

What Is it?  Readers Theater is dramatic presentation of written work in script form.  Props are not required. Presentations can easily be done in a classroom.  Scripts are held by the readers. Lines are not memorized. The focus is on reading the text with expressive voices and gestures. Kids love it and so do I!    ~  Marci McGowan
