Thank you so much for the valuable ideas you provided! I'm taking reader's theater a step further to having students write their own short story, then writing a script based on it. The students will benefit from your lesson ideas and resources!

This article was extremely helpful! I am taking teaching creative arts right now, and we briefly discussed reader's theatre, but this article really helped me understand what it is and how to incorporate it into future lessons! Thank you from a preservice educator!

The evaluation link appears to not be working again. I'd love to see an example.

The link to the evaluation is no longer working. Is there another evaluation that has worked well in the past?
