Instructional Ideas
- The idea here is a good one; however, consider revising the script so that it has a consistent tone
- Using the provided script as a model, ask middle and high school groups to create their own adaptation of the script, selecting a tone (mock-serious, classical Greek, soap opera) character interpretation (Orpheus as rock star, Eurydice as groupie), etc.
- Or assign groups different myths to script for a reader's theatre performance
Pros
- The script models how stories can be transformed into reader's theatre exercises
Cons
- The script is not carefully crafted and the tone is inconsistent
