Give your students a crystal-clear, kid-friendly way to answer “Who counts as a character?” This watercolor anchor chart set teaches that characters can be people, animals, or things that can think, feel, and act, and that some items in a story world are not characters. The visuals are clean, calm, and classroom ready with a unified darker cream watercolor paper look.

This anchor chart set come with:

1-page assembled preview (8.5×11) to project or include in your lesson slides (some teachers also use this as a binder or folder cover to add matching lessons and worksheets to)

4 borderless printable panels (8.5×11 each) that tape together to make a 17×22 poster:
People panel with four sets of Black characters of varied ages
Animals panel with dog, turtle, gray rabbit, and goldfish in a bowl
Things panel with teddy bear and robot
Not a Character panel with a chair

And, as always, - representation that matters: The People panel features only Black characters so more students see themselves in the anchor chart.

So I will be switching soon from teaching Creative Writing to grades k-4th to be a grade level teacher teaching second grade.

In order to set up the teacher taking over for me on the enrichment team for success, I created the entire next 5 week unit for the K-2 grade levels and created the lesson plans for all grades for the first two weeks.

Our next unit will be Theatre/Playwriting and I loved the mini scripts I came up with as an introduction to reader's theater scripts so much that I listed it in my TPT store! It is so much more than just scripts. 50 pages of mini lessons, related activities, writing prompts, suggested extensions, and so much more.

Oh, and every script ties to two of the CASEL standards for SEL!

Give your primary students a gentle, joyful first step into theater. Reader's Theater for Little Learners was built specifically for K-2: large print, short lines, clear turn-taking, and visual supports. Kids get to act, speak, and shine - without getting lost in long paragraphs or tricky stage dire...
