More Readers Theatre for Middle School Boys: Adventures with Mythical Creatures will put imaginations to work to foster creativity and build reading skills. Stimulate the literary and artistic imaginations of middle school students, especially boys, by introducing them to some of the fantastic creatures that appear in myths from around the world. In these adventure stories, boys will encounter tricksters and monsters. At the same time, they will begin to realize the subtle connections-the metaphors-the creatures represent. Designed for use in the classroom, the scripts feature kid-friendly dialogue in their presentations of mythical creatures. Students will read and listen to stories of the amazing beings that came from the imaginations of early peoples. The results of this stimulation will surely appear in artistic illustrations by the students, in better creative writing, and, certainly also, in the further reading of myths. Grades 6-8.
