Create Your Own Reader's Theater Script
First, we need to select the folk tale or fairy tale that you would like to use.
Next, you will think of your character's motivations in your story as you plan the sequence of events in your retelling.
Then we begin to write the rough draft of the script itself. Find out what makes script writing different from writing paragraphs.
Then use the checklist to help revise and edit your rough draft.
Finally, you are ready to write your final copy! 47 mins of video lessons
