What educators are saying
My students loved taking parts and acting out the play. We were studying legends and folk tales from around the world, and this kept them engaged.
My students LOVED this play!! I swear, I would exclusively use Zachary's plays in my classroom if I could! The students love them, and they provide great practice in fluency and reading comprehension, and they encourage critical thinking and higher-level questioning.

Description
In this Chinese myth an 80-foot-long serpent terrorizes the countryside near the Yung Mountains until it makes its wishes known: It demands the yearly sacrifice of a young girl in order to leave the people in peace. Nine years pass, and nine girls pay with their lives until one girl, Li Chi, is brave enough to face the serpent in battle. With her father's sword in hand and her faithful dog by her side, Li Chi dares to do the impossible.
