Reader's Theater for ELLs

Help me give my students the opportunity to do Reader's Theater lessons in their native languages and English.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Harris-Herchenroeder's classroom raised $363

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In my beginning drama class there are 6 languages spoken that are not English. Students are at different levels of English Language Learning and have chosen or don't have any other elective options and so they are in beginning drama.

Help me support my students who are beginning level English Language Learners to participate in the Reader's Theater Lessons and project this semester!

Students will read stories in small groups and will use both their native language and English to tell these stories in their performances for friends and family at the end of the semester. Many of my students are trying hard to participate but are struggling with the level of English required by the drama plays, textbooks, and resources I currently have.

These books will support the majority of students' native languages and give them confidence to perform for their friends and family.
