Students love acting books out...

Students love to act of what they learn.  Especially after reading a good book.  Many teachers like to incorporate readers theater in their classroom.

Reader’s theatre is a great way to get students engaged and learning about literature.  During reader’ theatre students read from prepared scripts and act out what they are saying.  This is when students can show their creative sides.  Some students can even create their own scripts and re write the story.  This would be a great project for a middle school ELA project. 

Reader’s theatre can also help students who are shy and need a bit of encouragement.
