Last week we looked at a very organized group of elementary students who were part of a theater camp (see post here). This week I thought we could take a look at how theater is often incorperated into the gerneral elementary curriculum. There is a common componant of the reading curriculum called "readers theater" and the concept is that the students read from the script and act out their parts to bring the stories to life, rather than sitting at their desks and reading. Sounds great right?
There are many examples of Readers Theater clips on You Tube. Take a look at these two very different examples :





What are your thoughts? Do these qualify as examples of theater being integrated into the classroom?
