Martin's Big Dream: The Youth of MLK Readers Theater

Classic reader's theater from the pages of Scholastic’s Storyworks magazine! Martin's Big Dream is based on a true story from Dr. King’s childhood in which neighborhood boys refused to play baseball with him. Dr. King wrote that it was a pivotal moment in his becoming a civil rights leader. It was recently enacted by a branch of the Palace Theatre with support from the local BLM chapter, and it pairs nicely with Doreen Rappaport's book, "Martin's Big Words." It includes parts for ten to twelve actors. Use it with students in grades 4 through 7 to improve fluency and teach tolerance. Includes teacher notes, a comprehension activity, and answer key. There's also a FREE Google Forms version of the quiz available here in my TpT store. Visit ReadAloudPlays.com for more.
