The Reveres (A Family Forced Apart)

Students will act out the story of Paul Revere Jr., whose father is in exile after warning Hancock and Adams of the approaching British. The young Paul Jr. and his friend, Thomas, must be brave and resourceful while their families are away. This Reader's Theater script features roles written to match multiple reading levels. Teachers can assign specific roles to their readers based on each student's current reading level, allowing all students to get involved in the same activity and feel successful! Students will gain confidence in their reading fluency through performance, regardless of their current reading ability. While performing with others, students will practice performance, interacting cooperatively, reading aloud, and using expressive voices and gestures to better tell the story. These drama scripts for students are a great way to teach literacy and engage all learners!
