How I Use 3 Friendship Readers' Theatre Drama Scripts and Assessments for Primary in my Classroom:

These friendship scripts can be used at any point throughout the year, as they are not seasonally focused. I assign the Friendship scripts to my reading groups. I usually let students pick which role they want to be. There are some situations where I assign particular roles because a student may need more/less lines, and/or sometimes I break up a role into two or have two students share a particular role and call them "twins". Of course, you know your students best and can easily modify for the needs in your unique classroom.

As soon as the scripts are given, I hand out the Parents Letter so parents are aware students will be practicing during class time and are encouraged to also practice at home.

After students have chosen/been given their roles, I have them complete the student planning sheet. They can think critically about what words they want to emphasize during the performance, think of gestures and actions, etc, so that they can be successful.

During class practice time, I am keeping close tabs on my students' progress with my anecdotal note tracker. (In this download, I give you two options. I personally prefer using the first option.)

I assess group performances by completing individual rubrics for each student. (I like using the second rubric option that is provided in this download). There are times when we have done additional performances by inviting parents to watch the final performances, a neighbouring class, or our reading buddies. I'm not a fan of assessing while there are outside classroom visitors, so I make sure the assessments are done beforehand.

You will quickly see that this download will leave NO LOOSE ENDS on your part. It will completely walk you through the process for an incredible reading or Drama unit that your kids will love! The assessment pieces throughout will make for quick and easy marking. I'm sure you and your students will adore this fun activity!
