What educators are saying

My students and I loved these Readers Theater versions of several of the Canterbury Tales! They captured the themes and characters of the original, but were more accessible to my 8th graders. The kids LOVED reading these tales outloud...thank you for saving me so much time!

Description

Ever have troubles teaching The Canterbury Tales? Use this collection of six script-stories to generate student interest in Geoffrey Chaucer's classic. Allow your students to inhabit the characters as they learn why these tales have been celebrated for hundreds of years. Each script is approximately 30-40 minutes. Chaucer's humor is still evident, but some of the stories' rougher edges have been softened to make them classroom-appropriate. These tales end up being a favorite of my students.

Note: This product is a bundle that combines all six Reader's Theater script-stories adapted from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales available on this site. For a full listing of the script-stories, see below.

The 77-page download includes the following script-stories:

The General Prologue

The Knight's Tale

The Miller's Tale

The Wife of Bath's Tale

The Pardoner's Tale

The Nun's Priest's Tale
