Bismillah, Assalamualaikum 
So my project paper has finished, all 120 pages of 'em, that would be:
1. Cover page
2. Acknowledgement
3. Abstract
4. Table of Contents
5. List of Tables, Figures, Appendices
6. Chapter 1 - 5
7. References
8. Appendices A - F
My project paper is some sort of mini thesis to wrap up the whole degree program of 6 years [yes, believe it or not, it has been 6 years!].
and since I am so into literature, therefore I wanted to do on something literature-y, hehe
and one of the contemporary approaches in teaching and learning literature in the English Language Classroom is Readers Theatre. Now what is Readers Theatre?
Go and find it on the internet! :p
There's TONS of information but basically Readers Theatre is...
Readers Theater is just what it sounds like: theatre for readers. This basically means that any book read in the classroom can be turned into a theatre piece acted out by students. This concept will open a whole new world to students about reading and the lessons learned within the pages of books. Consider book choice, practice time and production of the readers theatre in the classroom.
Readers Theatre is an activity in which students participate in acting out a piece of literature they have read, through the use of a script and repeated practice.
Readers Theatre is an excellent way to increase fluency, involve readers at all levels and create energy and excitement about reading!
Get it?
Literary texts (poetry, short stories, novels) - make it into a script - group the students - get them reading recurrently and for them to practice often - perform! - feedback!
oh wait! I left something out - the students get to perform WITH THE SCRIPT! yes, Readers Theatre do not need props, costumes or anything at all except perhaps a background that would make students feel excited. what's most important is that the students need to perform while reading the script and make full use of their gestures and expressions. and they can even insert in their own actions.
wish you had these kind of activity when you were in school huh? ;)
