This bundle includes 12 Civil Rights Leaders and each historical figure has their own Readers Theater script. These are perfect for supplementing a U.S. History, Black History Month, or a Civil Rights Unit. Character roles range from 9 to 12 but can be condensed to 5 or 6, making these script ideal for centers, stations or small group readings as well.

Teaching Tips for Using these Scripts:

  • For digital classrooms, upload the DOCX Script and convert to Google docs
  • For More Students: Main character can be read by multiple students.
  • For Less Students: Minor characters can be read by just one student.
  • The lengths vary from 1500 ~ 2000 words
  • The scripts should take about ~25 minutes and depending on your classroom's level it may be suitable for other grade levels.
  • An extra ~25 minutes for prep, discussion, vocabulary or short answer comprehension questions should also be planned.
  • Each script is geared towards grades 6 to 8.
  • Some teachers have used these resources for slightly older or younger readers as well depending on their levels.
