Mid-Unit Assessment: Readers Theater Scene Selection Justification and Peer Critique

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Is it justified? Readers complete the mid-unit assessment to justify their reader's theater scenes and quote choices from To Kill A Mockingbird. After completing the assessment, scholars conduct peer reviews and critique the script drafts. They use a stars-and-steps method to give feedback to their classmates.
