Reader's Theater Multileveled Scripts: Westward Expansion

What a great way to bring history and literature to life with a class play. This book four different plays about different topics in the westward expansion time period. The plays are also at different levels so this same book could be used in a variety of different grade levels. I think this would be a good experience for students that are looking to participate more actively.

Reader's Theater Multileveled Scripts: Native American Tales

One of the goals of my unit is to show the Westward expansion from both the pioneer and American Indian perspectives. In keeping with this goal here is a collection of Native American Tales written as play scripts. The class could read the scripts aloud (each choosing a part) and then we could decide on one to perform.
