This script is about a group of 6th grade students that are ready to "graduate" from Merna Elementary. During their last day of school before the graduation ceremony, they reflect/flashback to a time in the year when they ran into a bit of a problem based on one student's silly actions. Poor choices by this one student put the holiday musical performance in jeopardy.
The students work together to come up with a solution so the performance can go on as planned. This high-interest, realistic fiction reader's theater will have your students laughing out loud at the thoughts and actions of the 13-character cast.
Reader's theater scripts are an essential tool for middle school language arts. I use them regularly to enhance fluency, increase student engagement, and sharpen our reading comprehension skills.
If you are looking for a high-interest, realistic fiction, common core focused script with vocabulary work, reader response questions, and a summary answer key, this is perfect for the holiday season!
