Remember Who You Are

Act out the story of a girl named Allison who has to write an autobiography for class. Her friends and her recently divorced parents encourage her to remember who she is and to be thoughtful and honest with this assignment. Allison struggles at first, but decides to write about the challenges her family has faced after her parents' divorce and how she has become stronger despite these challenges. This Reader's Theater script features roles written to match multiple reading levels. Teachers can assign specific roles to their readers based on each student's current reading level, allowing all students to get involved in the same activity and feel successful! Students will gain confidence in their reading fluency through performance, regardless of their current reading ability. While performing with others, students will practice performance, interacting cooperatively, reading aloud, and using expressive voices and gestures to better tell the story. These drama scripts for students are a great way to teach literacy and engage all learners!
