Description

The Snowball Toss is a winter reader's theater script your middle school students will love! Practice fluency and speaking while incorporating winter themes into your language arts instruction.

This 5-page, 11 character, high-interest realistic fiction passage is about a snowy recess in which the assistant principal's silly action leads to a student getting carried away and injuring another. The lesson students will take away is that "rules are made for a reason," and we as adults need to be reminded of that sometimes.

This reader's theater toolkit includes:

  • 5-page, 11-character, high-interest realistic fiction script
  • Word work using context clues
  • Reader Response Questions
  • A reflective journal
  • Summary Work
  • Story Cover Makeover
  • Answer Key
  • Lexile Level: 770L

Reader's theater scripts are an essential tool for middle grade language arts. I use them regularly to enhance fluency, increase student engagement, and sharpen our reading comprehension skills.

If you are looking for a high-interest, realistic fiction, common core focused script with vocabulary work, reader response questions, graphic organizer, and a summary answer key, this is the perfect product for your classroom!

With all of this chilly weather and snow, your students will connect with this passage and be excited for the work that goes along with it.
