I consider my Reader's Theater program part of my school year repertoire. So it came as quite a shock when I started to get calls and inquiries asking me to PLEASE fit in another program before summer reading starts. This lucky librarian could not say no. The struggle was the writing... I write my own scripts (thanks to the guidance and format of fellow librarian, Jessica) and script writing is time consuming. I also have a group that is made up of tweens. They are demanding. They want substance! Scripts need to have an impact, prompt discussion and it needs to encourage more reading (partly my rules). I've written from Wonder, Harry Potter, Matilda, and more. I decided to try to adapt a scene from The One And Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. It's such a moving story and the emotions of the animals can easily be transferred to the format of a play. I am sure it will lend itself well to our upcoming "back by popular demand" program. I am including the script here, for those of you who wish to try and need to save a little time during these very busy summer reading months. Enjoy!
