Lon Chaney: Three Faces of Lon Chaney

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students watch the Lon Chaney episode of American Masters, read chapters from three original books on which Chaney's films were based, and use a reading strategy called Reader's Theater to adapt each chapter into a script. After performing their interpretations of the chapters, students compare their own work to Chaney's.
