Ancient History Readers' Theater by Robert W. Smith*

Grades 5-8th
Bringing the past to life!
These twelve Readers' Theaters really bring the "past to life".  Each one has a brief historical overview before it and also offers extensions.
Which people/events are featured: Hammurabi, Hatsheput, Queen Esther, Socrates, Alexander the Great, Archimedes, Eratosthenes, Qin Shi Huangdi, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Pompeii, and Hypatia
-Borrowed from the library.
*Highly recommend.
Warning: The scripts do not shy away from the reality of the times.  In Hammurabi's Readers' Theater, women/men chasing/adultery, drinking and gambling are mentioned.
