WonbyOne

This Reader's Theater was written for a small group of 4 students. There are two brothers and their names are to, too, and two. The brothers look a lot alike and people are always mixing them up so they come up with a plan to help people remember who is who. Too becomes too much, two becomes the two with a number, and to stays the normal brother. I write small group reader's theaters so they will work better in centers and to avoid having long wait times between student's lines. Wait time is not

This is a two day lesson. The first day is spent exploring the poem by Anne Bradstreet, "To My Dear and Loving Husband". I had my students read the poem and UNRAVEL it.
