Description
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Readers' Theater Fractured Fairy Tale Script & Graphic Organizer Activities (grades 3, 4, 5 & 6):
Students are sure to enjoy this readers' theater script that brings a Reindeer-based twist to Snow White. It works well as a Christmas readers' theater script or as part of fractured fairy tales activities. The literacy toolkit includes the following:
>"Snow White & the 6 1/2 Reindeer": 6-page (approx. 9-minute) script for 4-9 readers
>Sound Effects: Cue Cards
>Vocabulary: Word Work activity
>Fairy Tales Compare & Contrast graphic organizer activity
>Snow White Leveled Reading List of both traditional and fractured fairytale retellings
>Readers' Theater Weekly Practice Checklist
>An overview of readers' theater & the four elements of fluent reading
The fractured fairy tale readers' theater script includes sound effects for which students may choose to include audience participation. Cue cards are provided that students can use to cue the audience for a unique, interactive readers' theater performance.
The script also includes a list of “Watch-out words!” This feature highlights challenging words for which students may need help as they practice. These words make terrific candidates for classroom vocabulary instruction.
If you choose to do script-based vocabulary instruction, the Word Work vocabulary activity included with the script uses four of the “Watch-out words!” for more in-depth vocabulary study. A Sample Answer Key is included.
If you want to strengthen students' skills with comparing and contrasting, you can use the Fairy Tales Compare & Contrast graphic organizer activity to have students compare the traditional Snow White fairy tale with the fractured version. A Sample Answer Key is included.
For students who want even more fairy tale fun, a leveled booklist of a wide assortment of Snow White-based stories is provided.
For a classroom reading block, readers’ theater can be used as a student-monitored station during small-group instructional time, and my literacy toolkit includes a Weekly Practice Checklist that provides a framework for students’ day-by-day practice.
A basic overview of readers' theater (also spelled "reader's theatre") is provided, including information on the four essential components of reading fluency—accuracy, rate, phrasing, and expression.
In addition to the Snow White readers' theater script, check out my other winter holiday readers' theater scripts and various seasonal scripts for 3rd-grade, 4th-grade, 5th-grade, and 6th-grade students:
