Question

★ using ai
the end of the school year was approaching, and as her students wrapped up their final unit covering dramas and poetry, mrs. miller instructed her students to write their own readers theater scripts to perform in front of their peers. the stipulations were:
—all group members had to have a speaking part
—five dice would be rolled, and three of the five pictures on the dice had to be mentioned in the play
—a character had to recite a poem written specifically for the play

because mrs. miller knew this particular student felt awful for her actions and because she believed in second chances, she gave the young lady the option of rewriting the script with her group without any technological aid or enhancements. she reminded the girl that she wanted to see what she could write and how creative she could be without the help of anyone or anything else.
