Readers Theater introduction to the Middle Ages,
By
This review is from: Read-Aloud Plays: Middle Ages (Grades 4-8) (Paperback)
This book includes eight plays in readers' theater format, six of which are adaptations of actual stories told during the Middle Ages. Each play is divided into acts and scenes and are approximately 5-8 pages in length. Also included is background information on each play/story, as well as activities and writing prompts. An interesting approach to what is often a very dry subject. Reading level seems more toward the higher end of the grade 4-8 range.

This review is from: Read-Aloud Plays: Middle Ages (Grades 4-8) (Paperback)
well, I find it useless. The content is unimpressive and I do not see how I can engage my students with it.
