Text Structure Readers Theatre

Help students understand expository text structures! Six scripts (chronological order, cause and effect, compare and contrast, and problem/solution, description, and overall text structure) highlight key features of each text structure. Each script includes roles for 4-6 students, with 28 total roles. A planning sheet helps you to keep track of which student has been assigned to each role. A sample 4-day lesson sequence is included, as well as student sheets for examining the scripts and reflecting on their performances.
