The Scholastic Scope Magazine: Reading, Writing, and Reality for Teens - April 28, 08 issue has a great readers theater play that my students enjoyed. It is a few scenes from the movie, Forbidden Kingdom, coming out this summer. The movie stars Jackie Chan and will be a big hit (so say my students). The main character is sent back in time to ancient China to find a mysterious weapon. He has to joing a group of warriors and defeat a tyrannical leader. It is not exactly true to history, but much of the culture and some history appears to be taken from the past. The pictures in the magazine show some great sets that evoke Ancient China. It sounds like a fun film that many middle school students will enjoy.
