Drama - The Emperor's New Clothes Reader's Theater PowerPoint

Drama - The Emperor's New Clothes. This PowerPoint is a fun reader's theater or classroom play based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale that can be performed by students on short notice with limited space and props. Cast of characters, props, and stage directions make it easy and entertaining. Vocabulary can be discussed during a preview. Print the slides out as handouts (Print-Settings-Outline - to print out like a script in black and white) for your students and project the play as it is being performed. (You can also just project it to save copies.) I have students read their handouts silently first and look for words that are unfamiliar. Some possible words are highlighted on the slide show. Then discuss the unknown words and use them in a performance! I used this fairy tale theater as a bridge between a drama unit and a fairy tale and folk tale unit. And don't worry...no one has to get undressed! :-)

There are 8 main speaking parts, but you can make more by switching out the narrators and by dividing up the townspeople into separate parts. Includes the vocabulary pages in black and white for easy printing for student notebooks.

Use this digital resource in video conferencing or Zoom for remote learning. You can share with students in OneDrive and in Microsoft Teams, too. Just view in Slideshow mode. Upload to Google Drive and save as Google Slides, and it will automatically convert for use in Google Classroom. It is editable and easy to make adjustments if necessary. Please see preview.
