Photosynthesis Readers Theater
This readers theater, based on the book by Liam O'Donnell, explains the process of photosynthesis in plants. I have used it as a whole class language arts/science activity by numbering each line. My students all have numbers so it is easy for them to see what part they have to say. Each line is short as to keep the reading moving. The script can be adapted for any number of students by editing the numbers next to each line. I have used this readers theater as an introduction to a unit as well as

Philadelphia Constitutional Convention Skit Play Student Engagement GUARANTEED
This play/skit is perfect for any middle school or high school student learning about the framing of the US constitution. (Several main characters have multiple lines, while other characters have just one line or two so this can accommodate all sorts of different personalities in your classroom) How the delegates there squabbled with each other almost every day for 4-5 months. Not unlike our present day government leaders. It was (to coin a phrase in today's vernacular) a BIG HOT MESS EXPRESS.

We always march out to the baby version of the song and then put on sunglasses for the actual performance. The kids love it!
