Poison in the pond, fire in the forest, no anti-freeze in the Arctic, oil pollution in the oceans and deserts - is there no end to man's destruction of his environment? Can the human race be trained to look after the planet Earth? And what do all the animals in these diverse habitats have to say about it all? Read these scripts and you'll find out!
This is a "Group Read-aloud" package of 6 short plays by teacher/writer Sue Russell.
The scripts can be used to involve groups from your entire class (or groups from various grades in your entire school) in an activity that explores environmental issues. The scripts may be read aloud as Readers Theatre, and are also available as a Class Play (or Traditional Play), with lists of props, suggested music and seating plans. They work as great in-class teaching tools or as excellent materials for parent and/or school assembly programs.
