Women's Suffrage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781433305504)

Students will act out the story of two women, Alice and Lucy, from the National American Women's Suffrage Association (NAWSA). The group is trying to get women the right to vote, but they are moving too slowly! Alice and Lucy resort to their own methods including instigating radical demonstrations. While their efforts cause them trouble, children will learn how women did eventually obtain the right to vote. 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!
