Description
Groundhog Day Readers' Theater Script & Literacy Toolkit: "Groundhog Day with Mr. Loony": When Mr. Loony brings a bag of grass seed, a tub of Crisco, and an exceptionally large pig into his classroom, it's bound to be a Groundhog Day to remember.
This 27-page readers' theater literacy toolkit provides a terrific winter readers' theater script and literacy activities for Groundhog Day or anytime! It includes the following:
>"Groundhog Day with Mr. Loony": 6-page script for 6-9 readers
>Sound Effects: Cue Cards
>Vocabulary: Word Work activity
>Reading-writing Connection: Five-sense Details graphic organizer activity
>Readers' Theater Weekly Practice Checklist
>An overview of readers' theater & the four elements of fluent reading, along with 2 pages of tips and tricks for effective readers' theater implementation
The script includes sound effects for which students may choose to include audience participation. Cue cards are provided that students can use to cue the audience for a unique, interactive readers' theater performance.
The script also includes a list of “Watch-out words!” This feature highlights challenging words for which students may need help as they practice. These words also make terrific candidates for classroom vocabulary instruction.
If you choose to do script-based vocabulary instruction, the Word Work vocabulary activity included with the script uses four of the “Watch-out words!” for more in-depth vocabulary study. A Sample Answer Key is included.
If you want to strengthen students' skills with sensory language and descriptive details, you can use the Reading-writing Connection: Five-sense Details graphic organizer activity as another extension of the script. A Sample Answer Key is included.
A basic overview of readers' theater is also provided, including information on the four essential components of reading fluency—accuracy, rate, phrasing, and expression.
