Emma and Hannah are working on a school project about World War II and decide to interview their grandfathers to learn more about it. Act out this story as the girls learn about D-Day and how the Battle of Normandy turned the tide for the Allied forces during the war. The girls also learn that many German soldiers were unaware of Hitler's "Final Solution" and the concentration camps at the time. This script includes six roles, each of which match a different reading level. Teachers can apply differentiation and English language learner strategies to the script to assign roles in a way that accommodates all students, whether they are struggling or proficient readers. All students can engage in one activity together, gaining confidence in their reading fluency and feeling successful, regardless of their current reading ability! An accompanying song and poem provide additional resources to help students build fluency! Along with reading fluency improvement, students will also practice reading aloud, interacting cooperatively, and using expressive voices and gestures by performing this story together. This dynamic, colorful script is sure to benefit a classroom of varied readers!
