Born Storytellers: Readers Theatre Celebrates the Lives and Literature of Classic Authors
Teacher Ideas Press | Ann N. Black | Readers Theatre | September 30, 2005 ISBN 10: 1594690030 ISBN 13: 9781594690037 Students in grades 6–12 assume the roles of authors of classic literature, characters from the books, and storytellers. Through the dialogue, the audience will have a glimpse into the life of the author and reactions and thoughts of the characters. The storytellers assume a contemporary voice to react and clarify the times, while passages from the books are paraphrased or woven into the play to provide a flavor of the literature class. In contrast to Classic Readers Theatre for Young Adults, this focuses on the lives of the authors.
