I have included a video from TeacherTube.com that shows a class of first graders giving a presentation to second graders in the form of Reader's Theater. The topic is fire safety and the school is actually promoting awareness by having a Fire Prevention Week. This first grade teacher has her students dress in costume and read from a script that outlines the important aspects of fire safety. The presentation is in the form of Reader's Theater; however, the students are practicing choral reading, which ultimately helps students to focus on fluency and expression when reading. This is a great way to have students interact with text by relating it to real-life safety precautions.
