5.0 out of 5 stars Delivers What It Says, April 13, 2001

This review is from: Read-Aloud Plays: Revolutionary War (Grades 4-8) (Paperback)

I was hoping to find short dramatic plays for my 5th grade class and that's what I got. Although the write up suggests the plays are for 3-6th grade, I was worried the book arrived saying 3-8th grade. Our first play was terrific! It lasted 10 minutes, was easy for the students to read, and quite factual. A great way to integrate your curriculum.

Sorry - HUGE Amazon supporter and purchaser, have a Kindle reader, Kindle on my DROID, etc etc etc, but when you have to have something for a class - you have to have it. I generally would not have submitted a review like this, but this is an excellent teaching resource that will be otherwise missed if someone has to find the money for the hard-copy...
