Thank you @OnlineCrsLady and Heather for the first Readers Theatre session in #MYFest24. It was very rewarding. Loved the children's puppet show
I hope we can one day read something from my childhood book #KakaSunguraNaWenzake
Looking forward to the next one.

I've embedded the MindBrainEd article that @HAKretschmer and I wrote on the front page of my Readers Theater Scripts site, https://t.co/HblDSuhzuM ... I'm so glad to have this very useful introduction to Readers Theater to share with visitors to the site now. CC-licensed scripts!

SO EXCITED about this piece w/ @HAKretschmer because I am the world's biggest believer in READING OUT LOUD, and Readers Theater is perfect way to do that together with others, making it even more fun:

@yasser_tammer Both of these teaching tasks I just described are ungraded, and I think students are very willing to write collaboratively when instructors set motivating tasks.

That said, I totally understand your reluctance to ask students to write collaboratively.

[H. Kretschmer @HAKretschmer]

@yasser_tammer Teachers in my team ask students to found and develop fictitious companies during the semester. Some teachers have students write business plans together. Every week students students write one small part of their business plans during class. The experience is postive.
