This week 2R Book Club took on a different shape when instead of the way we usually work in our reading groups to better understand and creatively respond to our books, we tried out a simple Reader’s Theatre response.<\/p>\n
Reader’s Theatre<\/a> is a reading response strategy that we use to deepen and demonstrate text comprehension and improve reading fluency. If a student is able to read their dialogue with appropriate expression, it demonstrates a degree of understanding.<\/p>\nIn support of our current unit of inquiry, a study of how “stories can be constructed, retold and interpreted in different ways”, we are looking at traditional tales from across cultures and exploring ways to re-imagine and retell them ourselves.<\/p>\nPlease enjoy our video performances!<\/p>\n <\/p>\nThe Three Billy Goats Gruff – Reader’s Theatre\n<\/iframe><\/h3>\n<p>Yo, Amber, Jessica and Femke give a Reader’s Theatre performance of The Three Billy Goats Gruff during a 2R book club session.
