The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Readers' Theater Script
This Reader's Theater Script is easy to follow and is based off of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". This is written at a level that 4th, 5th, and 6th graders can enjoy. There are plenty of Tier 2 vocabulary terms to build a unit from. Words I chose to focus on for the week unit were region, reeling, hospitality, lanky, and cordially. The theme of the story as well as characterization can be explored with this script.
