Curriculum-Based Series, Math, Science & Social Studies (K-5)
|
|
Affordably priced for teachers, PASSENGERS is a dynamic and creative role-play reading series with multiple scripts that transport students through learning important topics in Math, Science, and Social Studies in the most fun and engaging way.
Curriculum-Based Readers Theatre (CBRT) incorporates the basics of traditional reader’s theatre— actors reading aloud from a script, performing without costumes, props, or stage movement. CBRT scripts use school content areas as their topics—science, math, and social studies—dramatizing the content to make it more interesting and memorable. Reading these types of scripts is effective in increasing retention of curriculum information, improving reading fluency, engaging students in a learning experience, and encouraging a theatrical delivery of the words on the page.
The structure of each script is based on passengers asking a conductor little questions to answer the conductor’s BIG questions. When they make it to the last car, a surprise awaits them! By the end they answered several BIG questions and learned several important topics within each subject area of Math, Science, and Social Studies.
Comes with a full Teacher's Guide, Guide for Character Levels and Colorful BRAG Badges.
